Hi there Faye, Please can we ask you to email us with details of your order - we make a small charge for plastic cards, so if we don't receive payment we cannot issue a card. If you have sent payment we will need your full name and contact details to trace your order. Please email us at: help@bladderandbowel.org With thanks in advance, - Bladder & Bowel Community Team

“Didn't find it useful only that you can download a card but can do that anywhere”

Helpful Report

Hi there Joel, We're sorry to hear you didn't find the Just Can't Wait Card useful. We know it can be difficult for some people to communicate their need to use a toilet, but there may be a better way that works for you. You are welcome to order a plastic card by post if you prefer: https://www.bladderandbowel.org/help-information/just-cant-wait-card/ Kind regards - Bladder & Bowel Community Team

Dear Alisha, Thank you for your review and we're sorry to hear it's not more positive. The online form you filled in should have enabled you to receive an email with a link to download your card to your digital wallet. If this wasn't the case, please kindly try the process again, and it may help to read some guidance before you begin. This article should help: https://www.bladderandbowel.org/news/new-digital-just-cant-wait-card/ If you need further support please email us at help@bladderandbowel.org and we'd be glad to help.

“I thought that shops should get you use their toilets if you need them But been to 2 now and they wouldn't let me use theirs”

Dear Carol, Thank you so much for your review - we're so sorry to hear that the Just Can't Wait card was refused, we understand that may have been stressful. The card is a communication tool, as opposed to a pass to use the toilet. We are working to raise awareness with all levels of community to improve everyone's understanding of what it's like to live with a bladder and or bowel condition. The more people show the card though, the more people will recognise it. If you’d like to support our work, please email us at help@bladderandbowel.org with details of your experience to inform our wider awareness campaigns. Please stay with us on the journey! Kind regards - Bladder & Bowel Community Team

Helpful Report

“Tried to call their helpline which kept me waiting then offered me to leave my name and number so they could call me - they didn't! I wanted a physical card but received an email to say my 'digital' can't wait card was ready, but I didn't want a digital one on a phone, and there was no means of speaking to anyone about it. Very poor”

Dear Paul, We're so sorry for any confusion - we no longer run a helpline, so were unable to pick up your message. We will email you directly in order to provide further details on how to obtain a physical card, should you wish. With kind regards - Bladder & Bowel Community Team
