Colostomy UK

Because every stoma journey matters


Colostomy UK is the UK’s leading charity supporting people with any type of stoma - Colostomy, Ileostomy, Urostomy. For nearly 60 years, we’ve provided practical and emotional support to people living with stomas  and those who care for them. 

We exist to help people with stomas to live happier, healthier and longer lives. 

How Your Support Helps

Every pound raised for Colostomy UK helps ensure that no one has to face life with a stoma alone.

Fundraising enables us to provide trusted information, practical support, peer-to-peer services, and a compassionate helpline for people living with a stoma and their families. It also helps us campaign to improve awareness, challenge stigma, and ensure everyone affected by stoma surgery has access to the support they need.

By taking on a fundraising challenge, you're making a real difference to thousands of lives across the UK.
