National Launch Evening

The National Launch Evening of Ostomy Lifestyle, on the 29th May, was a great success, with dignitaries, charities, stoma care specialists and businesses representatives all coming together to celebrate this exciting new charity.

After a year of research and preparation, the purpose of the event was to promote the aims, services and capabilities of Ostomy Lifestyle, in order that the charity should flourish with the support of key parties.

Speeches on the night were given by founder and Chief Executive, Neil Basil, Careline Supervisor, Helen Farrell and Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Berkshire, Dr Christina Hill with presentations of thanks to volunteers and sponsors being presented by the Mayor of Reading, Councillor Peter Beard.

In her speech Dr Christina Hill said “It is wonderful to have another national charity based in the Royal County of Berkshire. Ostomy Lifestyle is dealing with an important issue in a positive way”.

To help raise funds on the evening, there was a business card draw and a positive living prize draw, with prizes donated by The Century Clinic, Bearwood Lakes Golf Club, Precious Moments Photography and The Club at Mapledurham.

“The evening turned out to be a great success. I am confident we have firm foundations due to the work of the last year. We are now looking forward to building on this and developing our services further” said Neil Basil.
