Mobiloo Update

The Changing Places consortium work hard to promote the need for Changing Places toilets to be installed in all public places. There is also a huge need for mobile Changing Places to be made available at temporary open-air events like summer festivals.

Since the first mobile Changing Places was made available at the V Festival a few years ago there has been a huge increase in demand thanks to the campaigning work of many people across the UK.

The availability of temporary, mobile Changing Places is vital to ensure that people who need additional support with their personal care can attend the events that most people can take for granted.

Mobiloo have just announced new team members, lots of bookings, and a new van on order!

Over the summer Mobiloo is going to be at some really exciting new events, as well as some old favourites, so people can come along and enjoy a great day out!

 Pitville Park is all set for a new generation of visitors after more than half a million pounds investment in the century old playground. At a cost of more than £500,000 the playground has been built with all children in mind and to make it as inclusive as possible.

The site features a variety of playing areas including swings and roundabouts as well as a water play area, climbing frames and tunnels.Councillor Chris Coleman, deputy deader of Cheltenham Borough Council, "Accessibility was paramount so we made sure that children of all ages were able to use the equipment and we made sure there was clear wheelchair access."

 

 A Different World Festival is a unique Indie/rock festival for young people and adults with any additional need. This will be held on the 6th August 2016 in Reading at Abbey Rugby Club. Our aim is to create a mini Reading festival for those that can not access the real thing.  Like Reading there will be stalls, entertainment for the day, bars, food court  and of course music. We now have 11 fantastic acts waiting to entertain you with a mixture of styles from indie, folk rock, rock and acoustic rock to re-create that Reading sound.

 

Lakefest is a fairly new festival, which began as a music and cider festival, yet in its second year has booked big UK bands propelling it to the status of a full blown music festival.

Lakefest grew out from when Croft Farm Waterpark hosted its music and cider festival on April 9, 2011. It was attended by just over 1,500 people consuming 8,500 pints of cider. Bands included The Stages of Dan, The Roving Crows and The Wurzels. Classic West Country games like Welly Wanging and skittles were available to play with a prizes up for grabs. The feedback was so positive that planning went immediately into "Lakefest".
