Morrisons Rolls Out Stoma-Friendly Toilets Across All Stores in England, Scotland and Wales

The change was shaped by Colostomy UK guidance following input from stoma advocate MSP Edward Mountain.

Overview

  • New fixtures follow Colostomy UK recommendations: hooks for clothing or bags, a shelf for supplies, a discreet bin and a mirror for appliance checks.
  • Morrisons acted after customer feedback and a personal letter from MSP Edward Mountain describing his experience with a stoma.
  • Colostomy UK welcomed the move, saying limited access to suitable toilets remains a major barrier to confident outings for people with stomas.
  • All Morrisons locations will be added to Colostomy UK’s digital directory so people can plan trips knowing appropriate facilities are available.
  • An estimated one in 335 people in the UK live with a stoma, underscoring the need for practical, dignified facilities.
