We want more people to be able to enjoy all that Wales has to offer. Our aim is to get more Changing Places toilet changing facilities across Wales.
Campaigning success!
Mencap Cymru participated in the Disabled Children Matter Campaign. As well as making sure that all new Welsh Assembly Government buildings have a changing places toilet, the Welsh Assembly Government has committed to provide £225,000 to install new changing place toilets in different places across Wales. The following nominations of suitable locations have been accepted:-
Pila Palas North Wales
Llangollen International Eisteddfod grounds
Oakwood Theme Park Pembrokeshire
National Museum Of Wales Cardiff
Museum of Welsh Life St Fagans
All nominations are now waiting approval from the Welsh Assembly Government. It is also hoped that if monies allow one may be sited at the Builth Wells Showground.
www.changing-places.org contains the current and future intended locations of other changing places toilets in the UK.The Welsh Assembly Government have also funded a partnership between Mencap Cymru and the National Eisteddfod to make two portable changing place toilets available; These are ideal for making events accessible for all, and also could be used as research to determine the need for a permanent changing places toilet.
These toilets are designed to be easy to use for both carers and the disabled person, and include an electric hoist, height adjustable changing bench, peninsular toilet and plenty of space. The toilets are available on loan free of charge; only delivery and set up need to be paid for.
For more details on how to book the portable changing places toilets please call Alli on 01267 232256 ext 310 or email wales.cpl@mencap.org.uk
