Impey Showers Announces Scheme To Provide Free Wetrooms For Those With Mobility Issues

 I have just received the press release below from Impey Showers.

Inventors of the wetroom, Impey Showers, has recently launched a campaign that will donate much needed healthcare showering equipment to vulnerable people throughout the UK.

The launch of Impey Cares highlights the need for those with reduced mobility to be provided with showering equipment that they are either waiting for or cannot afford.

There are around 11million adults in the UK with some kind of disability (1 in 7 of people of working age) and 770, 000 disabled children. Currently, approximately 17 per cent of the population is aged 65 and over. By 2035, this figure will rise to 23 per cent and there will be 3.5 million people aged 85 and over.

Family, friends and carers of those in need of a wetroom for health reasons are encouraged to contact the Impey Cares team with the details of anyone they feel that could benefit from this scheme.

The government has recently brought in changes that will affect housing benefit meaning that vulnerable tenants may struggle to claim for support. Some of this financial support is used to pay for showering equipment and other mobility aids for the home.

Many people rely on this funding to assist with adapting their homes to suit their individual needs and without additional help, some people may struggle to live as independently.

National Sales Manager for Impey Showers, Damien Mckeaveney, said: “We are delighted to launch the Impey Cares campaign and we look forward to helping people shower independently using the highest quality equipment. Having accessible showering facilities installed in the home means that those with mobility issues can often live much more independently and with dignity and this is something that Impey Showers supports.”
