Two members of the Guts UK team - Diane and Helen - stand in front of Colin our inflatable colon. They wear Guts UK branded t-shirts and hold our patient information leaflets in their hands. They are smiling at a man, who has his back to the camera. He has short dark hair and wears a long sleeved grey sweatshirt.
