About The Changing Places Campaign
Established in 2005, the Changing Places Consortium is a group of organisations and individuals who work individually to support the rights of people with disabilities and come together as the home of the Changing Places Campaign in the UK.
At the heart of the campaign is the call for Changing Places toilets to be installed in all big public spaces so that people can access their community.
As a consortium of not-for-profit organisations, they also offer advice to venues who are planning to install a Changing Places toilet, as well as bodies providing funding for their installation (such as government departments).
Currently the consortium does not receive any funding from, and has no ties to, any corporate organisations.
The members of the Consortium are PAMIS, Muscular Dystrophy UK and CAE. The team at Aveso have supported the official Changing Places campaign since 2013, and can provide free, expert advice on all aspects of the Changing Places planning and design process.
For more information about the campaign visit the Changing Places UK website.
