Gainsborough’s G360 Bathrooms partners with charity to help people with MS access safer bathing
Accessible bathroom specialist G360 Bathrooms has partnered with the MS Society to help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) benefit from safe and accessible bathing in the home.
More than 130,000 people live with MS in the UK. The condition damages nerves in the body, making it harder for people to do everyday things, such as walk, talk, eat and think.
The MS Society is here to make life better for people with MS, through research, campaigning and support. This commitment includes partnering with assistive product manufacturers to help people with the condition access solutions and services.
G360 Bathrooms, part of the Gainsborough Healthcare Group, is the latest MS Society partner and now provides a 10% discount on its accessible baths for everyone with MS. Each discounted sale also generates a donation from G360 Bathrooms back to the charity.
Through a complete assessment, design and installation service, G360 provides accessible baths, showers, bathrooms and wet rooms specifically designed for people with restricted mobility. By owning a G360 Bathroom, bathing with MS can be easier, safer and more positive – thereby helping individuals with the condition and people around them.
As the most established UK accessible bath specialist, Gainsborough Healthcare Group has helped bathers with disabilities, including MS, since the company began in 1988. Its commercial and consumer brands meet the needs of all vulnerable bathers ranging from people in care homes to disabled children living in the community.
Its newest brand, G360 Bathrooms, builds on this established heritage for manufacturing excellence and client understanding – led by Trusted Assessors who are 100% focused on the needs of bathers. Their personalised, consultative approach means individuals with MS are recommended the perfect bathroom solution time and again.
Peter Eckhardt, CEO, Gainsborough Healthcare Group, concludes: “Ensuring everyone can bathe safely has been, and will always be, our priority. Awareness of this enabling promise will now be more widespread through the MS community as we proudly begin our new relationship with the MS Society. We are delighted to have been selected by the charity as its recommended easy access bath and bathroom provider. Our ethical, caring and consultative approach will uphold the values of the charity whilst delivering quality solutions that improve lives for good.”
Sam Walker, Executive Director of Services and Support at the MS Society, says: “We’re really pleased to be partnering with G360 Bathrooms. It’s great that if people are considering a G360 bathroom they now get a discount which could make a big difference. Living with MS can be relentless, painful and disabling, and for many people, access to an accessible bathroom is essential.
“We’re also incredibly grateful that we’ll receive a donation from every G360 Bathrooms purchase. These vital contributions will help us fund support services such as our free MS Helpline, and world-leading research to find treatments for everyone living with MS.”
In June 2022, G360 Bathrooms announced that it had partnered with Parkinson’s UK to help charity members and individuals with Parkinson’s.
