A Bear Named Buttony

A Bear Named Buttony Buttony is a special bear for children having surgery to create a stoma. Buttony has had similar surgery and we hope will offer comfort and friendship.

A Bear Named Buttony is a charity supporting children and young people who have a stoma.

“A note to say… my son (aged 20) is due to have a colectomy… a stoma nurse came to see him and brought him one of the young adults packs… thank you from the bottom of my heart, it means so much.”

When everything feels overwhelming, a small pack of thoughtful things can bring comfort, reassurance… and a reminder that you’re not facing things alone!

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely message with us 🧸.

All these items are stored in a perfect bag for stoma supplies to be held in going forwards.

If you’d like to help us by sponsoring one of these packs they are £30 and any support is very much appreciated.

Buttony had a very special outing last weekend 🧸.

He popped along to the IA Open Day on Saturday and loved meeting so many amazing people- including Mollie Pearce () and Connor () from The Vamps ()!

A big thank you to IA - Ileostomy & Internal Pouch Association for such a welcoming and inspiring day.
