Do you have an internal pouch? Are you considering internal pouch surgery? Or perhaps you are supporting someone who is?

Our next PouchPals online social is on Thursday, 28th May at 7.30pm, and we would love you to join us.

This month's theme is Have Pouch, Will Travel. Internal pouch committee member Keiryn Moffitt spent several months travelling the world in 2025 with his internal pouch, and he will be sharing his tips and experiences at this session. It is a brilliant opportunity to connect with others, ask questions and share your own travel stories too.

Our online meetings are free, open to everyone, and you do not need to be an IA member to attend. You also do not need a Zoom account or to have Zoom installed on your device. All you need is an internet-connected device and somewhere quiet to join from.

Please note that advance registration is required. Once you have registered, you will receive a link to join the meeting by return.

To register, visit: pouch.iasupport.org/online-meetings

We look forward to seeing you there.
