Bladder Health UK is a small, national charity (Registered Charity Number: 1149973) that gives support to people with all forms of cystitis (including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome), Fowler's syndrome, overactive bladder and continence issues together with their families and friends. We are the largest bladder patient support charity in the UK.

We provide a pack of resources for members including a handbook on their condition, a Diet Booklet and a Recipe Book. We distribute a membership magazine three times per year full of articles and information on living positively with bladder illness. We also have a wide range of factsheets on bladder illness and the various treatments available

We lend a listening ear to sufferers in the form of our Advice Line which is open weekdays and takes calls from members and non-members alike to offer advice on treatments and emotional support when it is needed. The line is manned during the week by a recently retired Uro-Gynae Nurse, and an Expert Patient. Once a fortnight we have a Specialist Bladder and Bowel Nurse on the line for those who would like some help with their bowel issues alongside their bladder. 

We have a UK network of support groups throughout the UK where sufferers can speak to other sufferers face-to face and offer tips and support to one another. Twice a year we aim to organise a workshop where members can come and learn about chronic bladder illness from practitioners and therapists who are skilled at treating those who suffer.

For those that prefer to have contact with others in a more anonymous way, we have message board forums on our website where sufferers can post and receive support from other sufferers. Our Social Media pages on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are buzzing with traffic and posts to interest both sufferer and Healthcare Professionals alike.

For Healthcare Professionals we have recently begun to offer Study Days via Zoom Webinars where they can come and learn about bladder illness from practitioners and network with one another.
