Coffee Morning Conversations
It feels good to talk about your gut, so get together with friends and family, your colleagues or community and have a good natter over a cuppa and cake whilst raising funds for Guts UK.
Pop the kettle on and get baking (or buying!) – it’s time we got comfortable talking about our guts, once and for all.
With 58% of people feeling embarrassed about their digestive symptoms, we know we’ve got a long way to go to help people feel comfortable having conversations about their guts.
So, spill your guts over a cuppa and a slice of cake this July and help raise vital funds and awareness for Guts UK. Together, we can get to grips with guts.

What is Let’s Talk Guts?
It’s a new campaign from Guts UK, the national charity for the digestive system, with one simple goal: to get people across the UK talking about their guts.
Millions of people across the UK are affected by digestive conditions and symptoms but so many of them feeling isolated or alone. It’s time to change that.
What do you need to do?
- Pick a day between Monday 13 and Sunday 19 July – or any day in July that suits you – to host your Coffee Morning Conversations.
- Invite people to attend on the day – whether it’s a home with family or friends, at work with colleagues, our in your local community.
- Charge people a small donation for teas, coffees, hot drinks and tasty bakes and treats. You can buy them in or ask people to bring along some homemade goods.
- Encourage people to sit together and have a good chat about their gut health over a cuppa. We want everyone to feel more comfortable to talk about their guts, so we’ve got to start somewhere and there’s no better time than now. We want talking about our guts to feel as easy as popping the kettle on.
