Going to the toilet is a human right for everyone, that is
why this changing places awareness day I want to raise my voice louder about how
important changing places toilet is to me.
As someone who uses a wheelchair and requires a hoist getting to the toilet. A standard disabled toilets is no good to myself so, I need to use a changing places toilet which has a hoist.
Sadly, there is a lack of changing places toilets, that is why I decided to start campaign for more changing places toilets 10 years ago.
Back when I started campaigning there was only 2 changing places in Glasgow where I live but fast forwards to today there are about 26.
These include central station, Queen Street station, Science Centre, Burrell collection and Clydebank shopping centre.
It is really important to me having these changing places toilets in places because it lets me have a nice day out without worrying if I can get to the toilet or not.
Even although there is a lot of more changing places now than when I started campaigning, there could be more (much more)
So, this changing places awareness day I am calling coffee shops, cafés, restaurants and lots more places to install a changing places toilet.
Going to the toilet is a most necessary thing to everyone and no one should be left without getting access to a toilet.
So, please share this Blog and together we can make the world a more inclusive place.
