Story

We need YOUR support to ensure we can continue being there for anyone adjusting to life with a stoma. That’s why, from 1st April, we’re asking you to Step Up for Stomas and Get Active!

This year’s challenge is inspired by the 55 stoma surgeries that take place every day in the UK. Take on a 5.5k-a-day challenge, walk 5,500 steps daily, complete 55 minutes of activity, or create your own challenge based around the number 55 - however you choose to move, you’ll be making a real difference.

Our Stoma Helpline (open 365 days a year), Befriending Service, and Private Facebook Group are just some of the ways we provide practical and emotional support whenever it’s needed.
