About Us

Who and what we are:

The aim of our group is to help and support people with ostomies (stomas) and their carers, each other and 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.

We socialise over coffees, picnics, pubs and are restarting our annual BBQ, at Lydiard Park (See Events). We  organise local exhibitions from suppliers, as well as talks on a variety of subjects. If there is anything you feel is more ‘you’, for you and your friends, then let’s do it! Swimming, walking, partying, running, cycling, shopping, we’d be happy to help, come and organise it with us.

Have a look at the pictured activities around our website to see what all our ostomy friends on X have been getting up to!.
