Why Take Part in Active April?

Taking part in  Step Up for Stomas, Active April  means supporting people across the UK who are adjusting to life with a stoma, while also doing something positive for your own wellbeing.

Each year, this challenge helps raise vital funds to support our key services like our  Stoma Helpline, Befriending, Private Facebook group, and  training workshops for carers and employers. We don’t receive any government funds, so we’re reliant on the generous support of people like you!

Staying active can have a powerful impact on both physical and mental wellbeing – helping to ease anxiety, build confidence and improve overall health. You don’t need specialist equipment or a gym membership to take part. By choosing an activity that suits your own abilities, you can Get Active in April   while supporting people across the UK who undergo stoma surgery.

It’s a challenge that supports your wellbeing and helps make a real difference to thousands of others.
