Sometimes you just need to change one thing to open up a world of possibility…

Many people don’t give visiting public buildings a second thought. But some disabled people are unable to take part in activities many take for granted because standard accessible toilets do not meet their needs – or the needs of their carers and families.

Imagine having to change your loved one or someone you care for on a public toilet floor. This just isn’t acceptable.
But it’s a reality many have to face daily because they have no choice.
With access to a Changing Places toilet, which has a changing bench, hoist, peninsular toilet and plenty of space, all of that changes. That’s why we need more Changing Places toilets right across the UK.
