Donating Unused Medical Supplies in the UK

This topic is about finding ways to donate unused ostomy supplies in the UK. If you have extra supplies that you no longer need, here are some helpful suggestions on how to donate them:

1. Consider giving your supplies to your stoma or colorectal nursing team. Many hospitals in the UK have programs to redistribute unused products to patients who need them or send them to overseas aid projects.

2. Reach out to the IA (Ileostomy & Internal Pouch Association) or a local ostomy support group. These groups often collect surplus supplies and ship them to low-income countries, which can save you the cost of postage.

3. UK charities like "Jacob’s Wishing Well" or "Jacobs Well" accept ostomy items and forward them to developing nations.

4. Several people have successfully donated supplies through their stoma nurses, who ensure they reach individuals without insurance or with limited access to necessary products.
