We’re offering people the chance to join a virtual social event with others across the UK who are living with a stoma as a result of Crohn's or Colitis, or who might be getting one as a result of Crohn's or Colitis.
The event will be a chance to chat, share experiences and potentially learn from others. The topics discussed will be down to you and a trained volunteer will help to lead the meeting, making sure everyone has a chance to speak.
