Worcestershire Stands With You

Because dignity belongs in every washroom

Across the UK many men rely on discreet sanitary disposal due to medical conditions such as prostate cancer treatment, incontinence or stoma care. However, suitable facilities are often not available in male washrooms.
The Worcestershire Stands With You campaign aims to raise awareness and encourage businesses, venues and organisations across the county to provide inclusive washroom facilities that support dignity, privacy and wellbeing.
The Worcestershire Stands With You campaign was initiated by Greener Options to help raise awareness of dignity and inclusive washroom provision across the county, working alongside local organisations, venues and health support groups.

Why this matters

You may be surprised by how common the conditions are that require discreet sanitary disposal. 
• 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
• Around 14 million people in the UK experience bladder control problems
• More than 200,000 people in the UK live with a stoma
For many people these conditions require the use of hygiene products that cannot be flushed and must be disposed of safely and discreetly.
Without appropriate facilities, people may feel embarrassed, anxious or uncomfortable when using public washrooms. This can often lead to people going longer than they should between changing sanitary products, or avoiding social situations altogether because they fear being placed in a vulnerable or undignified position.
Providing sanitary disposal facilities helps remove this barrier and allows people to participate in everyday life with dignity.
