Crohn's and Colitis New Zealand Charitable Trust

Our mission is to provide support to those affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) & their families through support services, patient education, professional education & patients’ rights advocacy. CCNZ promotes public & professional awareness of IBD, its risks, treatment & mitigation. The organisation promotes, publicises & funds research into IBD in NZ in support of better therapies and, ultimately, a cure.

We continuously work to empower patients and their families, improve public awareness and help normalise the disease. We support those affected and help them cope with symptoms and improve their sense of wellbeing by facilitating opportunities to communicate with others affected by IBD and ultimately improve the quality of their lives.
