About IncontactIncontact is a national charity for people affected by bladder and bowel problems. We provide support and information and represent the interests of people with continence problems. Our vision is a future where incontinence is no longer taboo, where people with bladder and bowel problems have free access to information and support and to the treatments, products and services they need. Uniquely, Incontact is run by and for consumers. Our management committee is made up of consumers, informal carers and healthcare professionals. We offer support and information to service users, their carers and the health professionals who provide advice and treatment. A central function of Incontact is to raise awareness amongst the public and health professionals of these common problems, and the range of treatment and management options available. We aim to break down the stigma that still surrounds incontinence. Incontact has developed programmes to offer education and information through its popular publications, and support through a network of groups and help lines. Increasingly Incontact is acting as the mouthpiece for the many people with these common conditions. Incontact members talk to the media, health professionals, and policy makers to provide the valuable consumer’s perspective. Incontact is creating a network of consumer organisations whose members are affected by continence problems. This is a pioneering initiative which will tap into knowledge, experiences and resources not before available to the continence world. The network will enable us to raise awareness and reach audiences more effectively than ever before. So what can we do for you?- Offer information and support.
