There has always been a close relationship between the healthcare profession and charities. But recently this has grown even stronger and, as the president of Colostomy UK, I have never felt prouder.

Are you looking to join a growing charity that makes a real difference to people’s lives? You’re in luck!

We are looking for five enthusiastic and talented individuals to become a part of our team

Saturday 2nd October sees us celebrate our second Stoma Aware day.
We see Stoma Aware day as an opportunity to tell the world what a stoma is, and the challenges people with stomas face every day.
The more society understands the easier it will become for people with stomas to lead fulfilling lives. 

We would like to hear from ostomates about how having a stoma impacts on your day-to-day life in the United Kingdom. We also want to know what you think about Colostomy UK and how well supported you feel by healthcare professionals.

Emma Hankin tells us why she is Stepping Up For Stomas in September.

Sam Shakes is our latest Step Up For Stomas hero.
She talks about the challenges of living with Ulcerative Colitis and then stoma surgery, and why she is walking 160,000 steps this September for Colostomy Uk
