World IBD Day

A day to shine a light on the 500,000+ people in the UK living with Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis 💜
For people with IBD, access to clean, safe, and nearby toilets is not just a luxury it is very much a lifeline. The stress of not knowing where the next loo is can turn everyday tasks into major challenges.
That is why the Loo of the Year Awards are proud to support Crohn’s & Colitis UK as our Charity of the Year for the second year running.
At our 2024 awards event in January this year, the Crohn’s & Colitis UK team delivered a powerful presentation that helped raise vital awareness around IBD and the urgent need for better toilet provision. We are thrilled they will be joining us again this year.
We are also incredibly proud to work with Stefan Thomas, our 2025 keynote speaker and the MC for our 2026 event. As someone living with Ulcerative Colitis, Stefan is a brilliant ambassador for both the charity and our mission to raise standards in away-from-home toilets. His honesty, humour, and advocacy help push the conversation forward.
