Support and community

Many people with bladder and bowel conditions find it helpful to share experiences and learn how others have coped with their situation. There are many support organisations and charities that provide phone support and online resources to help you.

It's up to you how you become involved. Some people like the anonymity of the web while others prefer phone or face to face support. The following list of organisations provide support. Coloplast and Coloplast Charter are also ready to answer any questions you may have on bladder management products. See our contact us section to get in touch.

Promoting a healthy bladder and bowel – a paediatric guide​ ​

Created by NHS Western Isles with contributions from Paediatric Continence Scotland and Bladder & Bowel UK, this guide aims to support, empower and advise parents, educational staff and healthcare professionals to help children and young people with bladder and bowel issues. Read more

Normal bowel and bladder function is an important part of a child’s development and their path to adult and independent living. Failure to acquire control in a timely manner will affect schooling and education.

This document has been created to support, empower, offer best advice and education to children, parents, educational staff and health care professionals to help children and young people with bladder and bowel issues and to provide information to all those working with families.

The guide is divided into sections and you can download the part(s) that are of interest.
