💜 IMPORTANT UPDATE – TONIGHT’S MEET-UP 💜

Unfortunately, a few of you who were planning to attend tonight’s meet-up are now unwell ( get well soon everyone! 🫶🏻 ), which means we’d have much smaller numbers than expected.

With that in mind, I’ve made the difficult decision to cancel tonight’s meet-up. I’m sorry for any disappointment, especially if you were looking forward to coming along. 🫶

But don’t worry — this isn’t the end of our get-togethers! 💜

Watch this space, as I’m hoping to organise a little Christmas meet-up or festive get-together so we can catch up, have a chat and finish the year together. 🎄✨

Thank you all for your continued support and understanding. KWCCS is about building a community where we can support one another, and that will always come first.

Take care of yourselves, get well soon if you’re feeling poorly, and hopefully I’ll see you all very soon! 💜

KWCCS — You are not alone. 💜

Just ONE week until our next KWCCS meet-up! 🥰💜

Whether you’re living with Crohn’s, Colitis, IBD, a stoma or another bowel condition, or you’re supporting someone who is, you’re welcome here. 🫶

You don’t need to know anyone, you don’t need to prepare anything, and you certainly don’t need to worry about fitting in. We’re a friendly, welcoming bunch who understand that life with a bowel condition isn’t always easy.

Come along for a chat, a laugh, a chance to connect with people who get it, and a reminder that you’re not alone. 💜

📅 Friday 23rd October
⏰ 6:30pm
📍 The Queen & Castle, Kenilworth
⬆️ We’ll have a table upstairs this time!

💜 Everyone is welcome — just turn up! No pressure, no judgement, just support and understanding.

Know someone who might benefit from finding their people? Tag them, share this post, or send it their way. 🫶

We can’t wait to see you!

Super proud that Salts Healthcare have shared my blog regarding my battle with IBD.

If anyone would like to read it, click on this link ☺️ ➡️ https://www.salts.co.uk/news-and-events/from-survival-to-strength-my-life-with-a-stoma-rachel-nicklin?PID=91&Action=1

Back in February 2022, Rachel’s life changed in a way she never expected.

12 weeks from first symptoms to emergency surgery, and a recovery that transformed fear into confidence as she embraced life with a stoma.

Read all about her story in our most recent blog ‘From Survival to Strength: My Life with a Stoma’ by clicking the link in our bio!

I’m afraid I need to cancel tonight 🥺

I’ve been up since 2am with a cold & I feel awful. Under normal circumstances it would have gone ahead but with my operation in 3 days I really need to prioritise getting better and getting some sleep!

I’ll arrange another one as soon as I’m up to it & hope to see you all soon!!
