The illness affects one in 250 people aged 5–49 nationally, with Australia recording one of the highest rates of prevalence and incidence in the world.
Stawell branch CWA treasurer Jess Cass said the group’s scone drive was hugely successful.

“It was a great result and enabled us to do our part and donate this money to help support those people who have suffered or are suffering from Inflammatory Bowel Disease.”
