Did you hear the other week that the government is going give out more money for changing places to get installed which is get news????

I think that they should be in every town DO YOU THINK THE SAME !

I my town is getting a new pool, email them two years ago when they replied saying “There is one within 5 miles of the site and one within 19 miles of the site. (I wanted to reply to them “how would you like it if you have to wait 30 minutes to get to a toilet”)

so just before lockdown started, I was going to go round to care homes /day Centres/ people that I know, then get them fill out my questionnaire and then go to the town council and present my foundings/result. As I know quite a few people who would benefit from a changing place.

    Hi @colet

    I am so glad you brought this up!! I was overjoyed to hear the news.  There is a link here to the Changing Places website about it for those who are unfamiliar with the topic > http://www.changing-places.org/news/two_big_announcements_on_changing_places_awareness.aspx 

    Toilet access is a basic human right and it is a massive breakthrough that the government is now providing more funding for changing places toilets and making them compulsory in new, large public buildings!  

    Go you for being a part of making this a reality for disabled people, thank you <3

    I think you would be excellent at that and the experience you have had canvassing for changing places toilets will look great on your CV, make sure to pop it on there :)

    @Cher_Scope
    I actually did a internship with my local council and was a mystery shopper and I went to look at the cp to check if they were right criteria
