Imagine never being able to invite your friends to a sleepover or go on school trips...
Last year the ERIC Helpline helped over 120,000 families suffering with a childhood continence problem. When parents or children ring or email us, they are often very distraught by the problem they are facing and sometimes they even think they are the only family struggling with childhood continence problems. Here at ERIC, we know that’s just not true. We talk about bladder and bowel problems every day, to hundreds of families per month and thousands per year. We are here to support families who have no idea what to do or where to go for help.
You might think we are funded by the government or NHS, or that we make all the money we need from selling products through our shop. This isn't the case. The truth is we need your help and support to be able to keep our Helpline service open. This year, the service will cost over £110,000 to run and so far we have raised just £43,000.

School Information Tool Kit 
One in 12 children and young people in the UK struggle with bedwetting, daytime wetting, constipation or soiling problems. It is likely that most teachers will, at some time, have at least one child in their class who has a wetting or soiling problem.
The 'Why me?' FREE tool kit and film, produced with the support of the Big Lottery Fund, offers schools a valuable resource to learn more about how to sensitively support children and young people who suffer with childhood continence.

ERIC film on bedwetting
ERIC has had a film made about bedwetting, thanks to the support of the Media Trust. The film explores the reasons for bedwetting, tells the stories of 2 boys and their families and explains how ERIC can help. Please watch our film and let your friends and families know about it. We'd love to know what you think. Please email us to let us know.
