Morrisons Upgrades Stores for Stoma Patients
6 Mar
Summary
- Morrisons introduces stoma-friendly toilets in all stores.
- Lawmaker Edward Mountain advocated for the improvements.
- Colostomy UK confirms improved facilities reduce barriers.
Morrisons is enhancing accessibility across its 497 supermarkets and over 1,700 convenience stores by introducing stoma-friendly toilet facilities. This significant improvement was spurred by a personal appeal from Edward Mountain, a Member of the Scottish Parliament and a bowel cancer survivor who lived with a stoma during his recovery. He communicated his experiences to the retailer, prompting a positive response.
Working closely with Colostomy UK, Morrisons has implemented features designed to ease the practical challenges faced by the stoma community. These additions, such as shelves, hooks, and discreet disposal bins, aim to provide comfort, dignity, and peace of mind. The initiative represents a commitment to reducing everyday barriers and improving access to suitable facilities nationwide.
