We’re proud to share that Colostomy UK has teamed up with Arsenal Football Club to make Emirates Stadium more stoma friendly.

This is a major step forward for people living with a stoma. From improved awareness to better stoma friendly facilities, these changes are helping to create a more comfortable and confident matchday experience for fans.

In our video, we hear from Arsenal’s Disability Access Manager, Aaron Heskins, about the work that has taken place, and from Alan Schneider, who shares his experience of living with a stoma and what this progress means in practice.

This is an important moment for our community, showing what can be achieved when organisations come together to make everyday experiences more inclusive.
