Birmingham Young IA members held their final meeting before Christmas on 3rd December in Birmingham City Centre. Meeting at Caffe Concerto on a busy Saturday morning, they had coffee ( and in Matt's case, a huge hot chocolate and cake!) before setting off to explore the joys of the German market.
They then fought their way through the shoppers to a favourite YIA haunt, Jimmy Spice's on Broad Street, where a great meal was enjoyed by all. Now they're looking forward to the Grand Christmas Quiz next week.

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.
