Birmingham IA had a very busy day at The Pavillions, the old social club for the Goodyear Tyre factory, in Wolverhampton on Wednesday 23rd August. We were invited to attend an event arranged by Raj, lead SN from Wolverhampton New Cross Hospital. Wolverhampton patients had the chance to meet their Stoma Nurses and to look at the range of supplies offered by twelve different suppliers. Birmingham IA Committee members Bogusha Bury, Kal Manotta and Andy Greenway were there representing Birmingham IA, talking to patients and raising awareness of IA and what the organisation offers for ostomists and Internal Pouch patients. Andy said that it was an incredibly busy day and that they had met a lot of interesting people, including some of Birmingham IA’s Wolverhampton members.

Birmingham IA Yesterday |
This was one of our members and his wife. Tony Mcnicholas and his wife Marie. Tony had been a member with Birmingham IA since 2019 but he sadly passed in may 2025, Tony was a very popular and committed member of our group. Marie always came with Tony to meetings and events. Marie has very kindly donated a sum of money to help Birmingham IA continue providing others with support and a community as Tony found the group helpful for himself and his wife during his time as a member. We are so greatful to Marie and the rest of Tony family and friends for the donation. And I am sure Tony will be sadly missed within the socials and all the members who knew him.

These are a brillant idea for anyone who has a child or someone who might not understand about the stoma/pouch using the books to explain it to them how it helps and what it does and how to cope with them.
