"This Group has really helped me as the support person for my partner. It's helped me to understand more about the physical and mental health issues faced by people have bags and how they cope. 

Its been great for talking to other people, asking questions and being able to get support from the other members of the group too. There's so much knowledge at the table that we can tap into too which has been helpful."

Being part of the support group is a hugely valued life line. Being able to speak to people who understand what you're living with and the challenges that life throws at you with a stoma is so reassuring.

You can talk about issues that affect you both physically and mentally and there's always someone who can offer advice and support.
