👐 This week is National Volunteer Week so we're taking this opportunity to thank all of our wonderful volunteers here at NSW Stoma!

🙏 We are very fortunate to have 29 lovely volunteers who generously give their time to NSW Stoma in multiple roles.

📦 From picking and dispatching orders in our warehouse, manning the reception desk, answering the phone and other admin duties, helping with our education and support services, to ensuring our governance is of the highest standards by serving on our Board, our volunteers are crucial to the smooth and efficient operation of our organisation.

🫶 So to all our volunteers (past, present, and future... could this be you?), we thank you for your time and dedication to NSW Stoma and your fellow ostomates; you are truly invaluable members of team NSW Stoma and we really couldn't do it without you.

📣 Can you help? Whether it's half a day per month or every week, if you have the time and passion to work with us, we want you! Learn more about volunteering on our website (nswstoma.org.au/volunteers) and email us at [email protected] to express your interest in volunteering. We would love to hear from you!

📅 Did you know May is Crohn's and Colitis Awareness month? And today, May 19, is World IBD Day?

🫶 Many of our members have first-hand experience with Crohn's Disease and/or Ulcerative Colitis, collectively known as Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD). For some ostomates, it's the reason for their stoma.

❗We believe it's important to raise awareness for this debilitating (and all-too-often relentless and treatment-resistant) condition which is why we want to ask: how does Crohn's and ulcerative colitis (or IBD) impact you? What would you want others to know? ❓

We can't wait to hear your story, if you want to share it with us.

💐 Happy Mother's Day from all of us at NSW Stoma! 💐

We might be biased, but we think ostomate Mums (osto-Mums?) are the toughest Mums there are. 😉

We hope you had a relaxing day with your loved ones as they got a chance to celebrate you and everything you do for them!

🕊️ We are also conscious that today is a difficult day for those who have lost their Mum - please know that you are in our thoughts, too.

🍫🩷💐

📅 Save the date: Sunday 19th May is Anna's Walk, a fundraising charity walk for bladder cancer awareness.

🚶‍♀️ Held by BEAT Bladder Cancer Australia, the charity event is free to attend and held in all Australian capital cities, as well as Tamworth. Anna’s Walk aims to raise awareness of, and much-needed funds to help fight bladder cancer. A volunteer-led patient advocacy charity, BEAT Bladder Cancer also highlights the information and support available for those in need. Bladder cancer is also one of the leading causes of why a person may require a urostomy.

🕊️ Who was Anna? Anna Lynch was an Australian woman who sadly lost her battle with bladder cancer in September 2017, aged just 45. Anna was the reason BEAT Bladder Cancer Australia was formed by her widower/husband, Adam Lynch.

💜 In honour of Anna's memory, and to raise awareness of bladder cancer, you're invited to attend Anna's Walk on Sunday, 19th May. Participants are encouraged to wear a splash of purple - Anna's favourite colour.

🔗 For more information, go to the website: https://www.beatbladdercanceraustralia.org.au/annas-walk/

🫶 Can you remember the moment you realised you had accepted your new life as an ostomate?

It's okay if it hasn't happened yet. Learning to live with - and accept - a stoma takes time and is a journey lived differently for everyone.

But if you're struggling, it may help to know that many ostomates out there once felt just like you do - and now live comfortably having accepted their new life with a stoma.

It's not the same, sure, but in many ways, it is better.

❣️ Can you relate? What was the moment you realised you'd accepted your stoma?

We can't wait to hear your responses to this one! 🥰
