What are Changing Places Toilets?
Changing Places are specialist facilities designed for those within the disabled community who cannot use standard accessible toilets. For example, standard accessible WC’s are designed for access by a standard wheelchair, but they are unlikely to provide adequate space for a powered wheelchair, or a wheelchair with additional head or leg support fittings. Standard accessible WC’s are also only designed for independent use by the individual and there is usually insufficient room to accommodate a carer /carers if the user requires assistance.
Changing Places are specially designed and include specialist equipment to meet the needs of every user within the disabled community.

Understanding The Purple Pound
The Purple Pound refers to the spending power of disabled households. A disabled household is one in which at least one person has a disability.
Disabled people account for 20% of the customer base of the UK average business. Their spending power is known as the 'Purple Pound'.
In the UK, businesses lose approximately £2 billion a month by ignoring the needs of the disabled community. Organisations are missing out on due on potential revenue by failing to provide adequate disabled access (both physical and digital) and not being disability confident in their customer services approach.
