About the Bins for Men Initiative
MUG is supplying sanitary bins to men's toilets across the island to support those affected by incontinence, often brought about by prostate cancer treatments, IBS, Crohn's, and other conditions. 🇬🇬
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men, with up to 60% of those undergoing surgery experiencing urinary incontinence as a result. Additionally, bowel incontinence impacts 1 in 20 men over 60, leading to isolation, stress, embarrassment, and depression.
Despite these challenges, minimal facilities are available for men to dispose of their waste discreetly and with dignity. This initiative seeks to address that gap and make a significant difference in many lives.
A big thank you to former prostate cancer patient Phil Merrien at the States Works Department for inspiring this initiative with his shared experience.
We now have over 100 bins installed across different locations around the island. Explore the map to see all the locations, from public places to our private supporters, that have joined us in this important cause. 🔍
