Empowering Ostomates Worldwide to Be Comfortable
Ostomates are more than just their stomas. They are real people with real lives who face the challenges that we all face, in addition to the challenges related to living with an ostomy. This year’s theme, "Empowering Ostomates Worldwide to Be Comfortable," focuses on fostering confidence and connection. By sharing our experiences and supporting one another, we can build a world where ostomates feel inspired, empowered, and comfortable in their own skin.
Below are four easy and fun ways to show your support and engage with the ostomy community:

Charities We Support
At Dansac, we proudly support numerous UK and Ireland charities to make a meaningful impact on life's journey. We believe that creating connections within the community is essential in making life more rewarding and dignified for the people who use our products and services. By working together with these charities, we aim to enhance the quality of life for people living with a stoma, ensuring they feel supported and valued.
Stoma. Skin. Soul.
In our dedication to stoma care, we’ve found how important it is to keep sight of the whole person and what matters most to them, their loved ones, and the clinicians who care for them.
