Good article (very long!) in the Daily Mail about the Changing Places campaign:

Having seen so many similar bits of coverage over the last year, I began to wonder how much progress the campaign was making. I had a look on their site, and came across their year in review:

Great to read that they've had so many successes in the last year - with over 100 new Changing Places toilets!
