How we use YOUR donations to change & save lives

Guts UK has three charitable objectives:
- Provide expert information to patients
- Raise awareness of digestive health
- Fund research into the digestive system from top to tail; the gut, liver and pancreas
At Guts UK, we are dedicated to research. 69p per pound spent in 2019 funded research into diseases of the gut, liver and pancreas.

- Public awareness: Raising awareness of gut health and digestive diseases is crucial. 58% of people with a digestive condition are embarrassed about their condition/symptoms, and 51% of people delay seeking advice for their symptoms for over six months. When the Guts UK roadshow comes to town, we empower people to seek help.
