We know that life with a stoma can be full, active, and empowering , but too often, it’s surrounded by misunderstanding, outdated ideas and opinions, or silence. That’s why we’re proud to launch our new StomaAware Day campaign: Stoma Myth busters. Join us on 4th October

Discovering Active Ostomates: After recovering from surgery and taking some time to rest, I became aware of Colostomy UK in late 2023 and joined the charity as part of a bowel cancer group.
Through the charity’s newsletter, I learned about the Active Ostomates programme. I was particularly interested in something to improve my flexibility, so in February 2024, I signed up for my first online Pilates class with Heather.

Colostomy UK partners with WelcoMe to make days out easier for people living with a stoma.
We know that going out and about with a stoma isn’t always straightforward. That’s why we’re really excited to announce a new partnership with WelcoMe, a simple service that helps people share their needs with venues before they arrive.
