Urostomy Association

Life with a urinary diversion can feel daunting. So it’s vital that people have somewhere to turn for reassurance and advice, from diagnosis to living life to the full again. At the Urostomy Association, we can provide that support.

We offer information and support through our helpline, regular magazine, e-newsletters, one-to-one buddies, group meetings, social media and resources. We also have information, support and advice for families and carers too.

We link you up with a community who can reassure you and help you make the decisions and choices to live your best life before, during and after surgery. Many of our staff and volunteers live with a urinary diversion themselves, so we understand what you’re going through from personal experience.

In addition to providing practical and emotional support, the charity aims to increase awareness of urinary diversions across healthcare and the general public.
