The Bladder and Bowel Foundation will be holding this years National Continence Awareness Week held from 21st to the 25th September 2009.

The main focus of this years campaign is the fact that incontinence and bowel control problems can affect anyone at any age. Local events will be held to highlight to those who are affected by incontinence, patients and carers alike, that there is no need not suffer in silence.

The Bladder and Bowel Foundation was formed in September 2008 but has a 20 year history having replaced both Incontact (Action on Incontinence formed in 1989) and the Continence Foundation (established in 1992 and closed in May 2008).
