Making Changing Places Happen
Changing Places as a campaign would not be where it is today without the aid of many supporters across the UK. The growing support network constitutes of dedicated families, carers, Changing Places users, charities and organisations who take an active interest and have passion for making Changing Places happen. Read more about some of the Changing Places Supporters Aveso have worked with along the way.
Euan’s Guide
“Despite being in a wheelchair due to Motor Neurone Disease, I still want to go out to bars, restaurants, hotels, cinemas, music festivals, sports grounds etc. I’m always looking for new places to go out but can only find out if access is suitable through a process of trial and error.” Euan’s Guide provides a reviewing platform for venues including those with a Changing Places.
The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity
Josh’s mum Dawn Fidler launched The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity in August 2013, celebrating Josh’s 13th Birthday, with the dual aims of providing financial help and advice & support to children with brain tumours and post surgery disabilities, as well as making the world ‘changing friendly’.
The Clough Family
Julie and Margaret need a Changing Places toilet with an adult-sized height-adjustable changing bench where Julie’s pad can be changed, and a hoist to lift Julie from her wheelchair to the bench. They actively campaign for more Changing Places with Julie’s brother Tony and have been successful campaigners for many years.
