Why we are raising funds
For over a decade, GetYourBellyOut has been a lifeline for people affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease, helping thousands of patients and families around the world access support, education, and community when they need it most.
Every day, people turn to us following a new diagnosis, during a flare, after surgery, or when they simply need reassurance from someone who understands. We provide trusted information, campaign for better care, and bring people together so they don’t feel alone.
As demand for our services continues to grow, so does the need for support. Every donation helps us reach more people, create new resources, deliver impactful projects, and ensure that help is there for the next person who needs it.
Whilst some people choose to support us regularly, others do so as and when they can. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps keep our work alive and ensures we can continue supporting the IBD community for years to come ![]()
