Velvet is partnering with ERIC, The Children’s Bowel & Bladder Charity to get families talking openly about good bladder and bowel health from birth.

Here at Velvet, we are proud to announce our partnership with ERIC, The Children’s Bowel & Bladder Charity in support of the 1 in 12 children and teenagers in the UK who are living with a bladder or bowel condition.

We understand the importance of helping families to talk openly about good bladder and bowel health. We want to shine a light on the importance of the work ERIC does in supporting families.

Velvet and ERIC partnership

Through our partnership, we will donate £20,000 so that ERIC can:

  • Reach more families across the UK with free information and support

  • Empower everyone involved in the care of children to know what’s normal when it comes to children’s wee and poo from birth
  • Ensure that all children and teenagers can enjoy a healthy and happy life regardless of any bowel or bladder issue they face.

ERIC’s CEO Juliette Rayner says:

“We are delighted to be partnering to be working together in support of ERIC’s mission to get everyone talking openly about good bladder and bowel health from birth.

We want all families to be able to freely access the right information and support so they can quickly spot and get the right treatment for common problems such as constipation. 

We are confident that together ERIC and Essity can make a huge difference to children’s lives.”
