• A website with information on childhood bowel and bladder problems and downloadable resources
• An online shop supplying a comprehensive range of life-transforming continence products
• Paediatric continence training courses for health professionals across the UK to raise standards of continence care
• Campaigns to raise awareness of the causes and treatment of children's bowel and bladder problems, to improve national paediatric continence services and the support available to children in education settings and the NHS.

Our mission

We provide expert support, information and understanding to children and teenagers and enable parents, carers and professionals to help them establish good bowel and bladder health.

We continue to develop our expertise to ensure we can help even more families live better, fuller lives.

Our vision

Every child and teenager with a bowel or bladder condition can access support and live free from embarrassment, shame, isolation and fear.
