Colostomy UK are looking to create a memory quilt to record ostomates experience of living with a #stoma during the Coronavirus lockdown, and we’d love you to take part.

In this ConvaTec sponsored post Sarah who’s run 12 marathons since stoma surgery, talks about making the most of your stoma journey

It’s vital for our health, especially during lockdown to stay physically and mentally active. We are proud to launch our ‘Active Ostomates – At Home’, a range of online classes as part of our Active Ostomates programme.

“We’re in this together, and I’m proud to say our team are working hard to find new ways to deliver vital support, virtually while you stay safe at home”

A message from us…

Colostomy UK, like so many charities across the UK, has been hugely affected by the cancellation of thousands of fundraising events, so we’re delighted that the organisers of the biggest mass participation sports events have come together to create a new campaign to raise vital funds to save the UK’s charities; and that we can be part of it. 

There has been some concern about supply of stoma and continence equipment in the current circumstances, so we felt that it would be helpful for you to see the guidance issued to GP practices and the suppliers of your equipment.
