🚽 Big News from Morrisons! 🚽
Morrisons is rolling out exciting changes to their toilets across England, Scotland, and Wales, all thanks to feedback from customers! These updates are set to make a world of difference for those living with a stoma.
So, what can you expect to see? New features include shelves, hooks for clothing or bags, discreet bins for disposal, and mirrors to help with appliance checks. These thoughtful additions come from collaboration with Colostomy UK and Edward Mountain, a dedicated advocate and member of the Scottish Parliament. Edward shared his own life experience and urged Morrisons to make their facilities stoma-friendly.
Why does this matter? Well, approximately 1 in 335 people in the UK has a stoma—an impactful number that highlights the importance of these changes. Having suitable, accessible restroom facilities means more comfort, independence, and dignity for so many, whether their condition is temporary or lifelong.
Colostomy UK is on board, celebrating this step towards inclusivity and improved quality of life. David Scott from Morrisons emphasises the importance of eliminating barriers and ensuring accessibility for all customers.
Edward Mountain expressed immense gratitude, stating these changes make a real difference in overcoming embarrassment and challenges faced by those with a stoma. This initiative is a call to action for other supermarkets to follow suit!
Giovanni Cinque from Colostomy UK adds that these practical improvements will significantly boost the confidence and comfort of those with a stoma as they navigate daily life.
Remember, these changes will be reflected in Colostomy UK’s listings of stoma-friendly venues, making planning outings easier than ever.
A round of applause for Morrisons for leading the charge and setting a powerful example for others to follow! 👏💙
