The ‘Changing Places’ at Coventry Station is within the newly refurbished section of the station, on the far side of platform one. The facility itself was tucked away across from the gates, and had we not come out from platform one, we would have not known it was there. There was ‘Changing Places’ signage above… Continue reading ‘Changing Places’ – Coventry Train Station
The 'Changing Places' is in the lower gardens of Bournemouth, just a short walk from the main shopping centre and it is located next to public toilets, accessed externally from the park.

Changing Places are accessible toilets that accommodate those with more profound disabilities that cannot use a standard disabled toilet. There is extra equipment in place such as a hoist, changing bed, and a shower. These facilities can provide those with disabilities extra support and comfort when using a public toilet.

The Changing Places facility in the Bullring was the first one that I discovered and I think that it is great to have one in the shopping centre as it is such a popular location and this way disabled visitors can use this facility and stay longer to make the most of their day with… Continue reading ‘Changing Places’ – Birmingham Bullring

On the outside of the building there was a larger sign which showed the facilities offered within for those who need to use these facilities. This made the toilet easy to locate and access. The toilet… Continue reading Changing Places – Royal Festival Hall London

When I go to the cinema with a friend, I… Continue reading ODEON Cinema Complaint
