About 1 in 12 young people in the UK struggle with bedwetting, daytime wetting, constipation and soiling (sometimes called incontinence or continence problems). At ERIC, we know how worrying and stressful these difficulties can be.

That’s why ERIC is dedicated to supporting children and young people, their families and health professionals. We provide information, confidential support, services and resources. Something can often be done to make a positive difference and ERIC is here to help!

Every year we’re able to help more families deal positively with childhood continence problems.

'Banish the Wee Horror'

ERIC's media awareness month is launched

ERIC's NEW APPEAL - if you have been helped and supported by ERIC you can show your appreciation by donating now to help ERIC continue it's vital work. 

Ruth Emery, Children's Continence Nurse Specialist, NHS Bradford and Airedale knows just how vital the work of ERIC is:

'For children who suffer from the drastic effects of being incontinent, the initial first contact is so important in helping them regain control of their problems, which often feels too overwhelming for them, their parents and even health care professionals.  What better place to begin to search for ways to resolve these difficult problems than ERIC?'

'Many of the parents I talk to say they wished ERIC had been available when they had these problems as a child and I don't want to see ERIC disappear simply because not enough people are aware of all the help that ERIC offers.  Please join me in helping ERIC raise £47,000 this year to help thousands more families, children and health professionals - simply click on the donate button'.
