There is nothing worse than hunger when you’re cold, and if you’re struggling to feed yourself or your children, a food bank can supply an emergency parcel with enough food for at least three days.

To receive support from a food bank, you’ll need a referral for a food voucher. Contact your local Citizens Advice:

How to get emergency food from a food bank. You can get a referral or look for a food bank that you don't need a referral for, such as ones ran by a church.

• Heavy, very painful or irregular periods.
• Symptoms of the menopause or perimenopause.
• Problems with your wee leaking.
• Prolapse (heaviness in your va**na) or worry that something inside might fall out.
• Any other gynaecology symptoms for example irritation around your va**na, lumps, or pelvic pain.

If that’s you, please complete the survey! Here is the link - research.net/r/gyno

We want to know about good experiences, bad experiences, in-the-middle experiences or if you haven’t accessed NHS services at all.

Crohn’s disease and colitis are often invisible to the outside world but they deeply impact on the daily life of sufferers.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is not just a stomach ache; it’s fatigue, uncertainty, flare-ups, strict diets, hospital visits, and strength that often goes unseen. Sharing awareness and showing compassion can help support Crohn’s and colitis sufferers.

We're here for everyone with Crohn's and Colitis
