We’ll be obvious from the Purple ColostomyUK top… Old Town Gardens or Lawn as the fancy takes us.

See Events for dates etc.

Barbeque: We’ll be having our popular Summer BBQ again in 2024… Watch this space…

Let’s Party,….

Want to party with your ostomy?

Now we are the new Ostomy Mates, as we grow, come and organise parties with your new ostomy.

What a nice way to get back into it. with others who simply understand.

Becoming an ‘ostomist’ can be pretty daunting - we know because we have all been through the same experience. That is why we are here..

We are a group of local ostomists from all walks of life.  

The aim of our group is to help and support each other as well as to make new friends and enjoy the lives our ostomies are giving us/  - It is amazing how good it can be just to meet someone who really understands what you are experiencing.

Find out more about what we are doing at About Us and Events

The #GetYourBellyOut Ball is a great way to have a party with other ostomates, as well as IBD sufferers.

Let’s go!
