Ileostomy Association UK Membership Feedback

Topic Explanation:

The discussion is about the Ileostomy Association UK and whether membership in this group is beneficial. The original poster is seeking feedback from current members to determine if joining the association would be helpful.

Advice and Insights:

1. Membership Benefits:
- The association provides journals with useful information on ostomy products, health advice, and exercise.
- Members' stories are included, which some may find engaging.

2. Local Support and Meet-ups:
- Many local groups organize meet-ups, which are opportunities to meet people in person, have a chat, and share tips.
- These gatherings are often enjoyable and supportive, with the potential to make new friends.
- It's recommended to check the association's website to find a local group nearby.

3. Additional Support:
- The association offers one-on-one volunteer support for advice and assistance.
- They notify members about events hosted by ostomy companies, providing opportunities to learn about new products.

4. Alternative Resources:
- Other online resources such as the Crohn's and Colitis UK Forum and the Stoma Support Group site are mentioned as useful, especially for those in areas with fewer local meet-ups.
