Welcome to the Midlands IA website!

Midlands IA, the Midlands Ileostomy Association, is a regional grouping of charitable associations with the aim of helping those who have had, or are about to have, their colon removed or who have an ostomy or an internal pouch return to full, active lives.

The Midlands News Bulletin magazine is published by the Midlands IA, a registered UK charity, administered by an executive committee, which meet twice yearly. All ostomy & pouch groups within the Midlands are invited to attend and participate.

The Midlands IA also administer the Florence Minnie Lees Bequest Fund, which provides financial help to ostomists and pouch patients in need in the area covered.
