2015 has been an inspirational year for us at Changing Places. The greatest successes have only happened because of our wonderful campaigners and supporters who have made sure that the Changing Places message gets louder and louder across the UK. We will be celebrating some of those successes on social media over the Christmas period and wanted to share some of our favourite pictures of the year.

Over the next two months we will be working with our campaign sponsor Aveso who are once again supporting The People’s Choice Changing Places Award. Voting is now underway to find 2015’s most popular Changing Places toilet according to our wonderful campaigners and supporters.

We are delighted to have support for our campaign from the Colostomy Association. Many thousands of people can benefit from the installation of a Changing Places toilet including people living with a stoma.

Great news! The Changing Places facebook page now has over 10,000 likes and continues to grow in popularity on a daily basis. We would like to thank the wonderful Sarah Mitchell, who co-ordinates the page, for her commitment to the campaign and for creating such a positive meeting space for campaigners across the UK (and the world).

 Next year the Changing Places campaign will be celebrating its 10th anniversary. Our successes across the UK over the past 10 years would not have happened without the ongoing campaigning by families and individuals who make sure people are aware of the need for Changing Places toilets in all public places and buildings.

Stansted Airport in Essex has two Changing Places toilets installed by our sponsors Aveso and we are delighted to support the airport’s further commitment to accessibility for all. More information below from Disabled Go who worked with the aiport and aim  to maximise independence and choice for disabled people in accessing their local area and the places we all want to visit.

It’s stunning, it’s new and it’s almost ready! Belfast’s Mencap Centre will be welcoming children with a learning disability to enjoy its facilities from January 2016 and the project is running both on time and on budget.
