Today, Mayor of Swindon and Councillor Jane attended our monthly Cuppa and Chat ☕️

We had a lovely morning sharing our lived experiences of being ostomists in Swindon with them and having productive talks about stoma friendly facilities.

Thank you both for joining us today 💜

At Ostomy Mates, we love our pets 💜

Here are just few of our members pets 🐶 😺

A pet is part of the family, or may work as an assistance or emotional support pet.
What does having a pet mean to you? 🐠

Huge thanks to Blunsdon Youth FC! They’ve challenged their teams to raise funds for the local community, splitting all proceeds 50/50 between the club and a chosen charity. ⚽️💜

​We are beyond grateful that the Blunsdon U9 Girls team selected Ostomy Mates as their charity partner!

The Stakes: The team that raises the most money wins a trip to St George's Park for an exclusive training session with an FA Coach!
​We’ll be sharing the team's fundraising updates all year long.

Let’s get behind the U9 Girls who are doing so much to support us!

Can you remember when the lovely Jane from Dressability visited us? As a result, our Ostomy Mates donated £74.50 to Dressability 🎉

There is nothing better than charities supporting charities 🙌

Drinking with an ostomy can be different:

Are your drinks now full of electrolytes?
Or do you avoid fizzy drinks, due to bag ballooning? 🥤
Does caffeine increase the volume of output?☕️
How about alcohol? 🍷

How have you adapted to your drinking to suit an ostomy?

What way do you make your drinks look more interesting? Here is dioralyte and squash in a wine glass.. fancy 🤣

How is your ostomy when flying? 🛫

Is your ostomy well behaved? Or does it have a 'party'? 🤣
