  • Hi everyone,

    Thank you Sarah for sharing the charity's name. I'm only 3 months with stomas, but already had things I'm no longer use. 

    We're so blessed in this country with a wonderful health care system.

    Best wishes.

  • I second that. We are so fortunate to have our NHS  I couldn’t imagine how I would cope without my supplies.
