The Colostomy Association is a registered charity that represents the interest of people with a colostomy. We provide support, reassurance and practical information to anyone who is about to have a colostomy, or already has a colostomy. We publish our own informative leaflets and booklets plus a quarterly magazine called 'Tidings", written by colostomates for colostomates. We have over eighty volunteers throughout the UK who are all colostomates willing to make personal visits to offer support. We attend hospital open days, and offer a 24 hour helpline.
