Details

More than 250,000 severely disabled people across the UK do not have access to public toilet facilities that meet their needs. Changing Places toilets open up public places to this group and their families, enabling them to enjoy the same experiences as everyone else.

Changing Places toilets are larger accessible toilets for severely disabled people, with equipment such as hoists, privacy screens, adult-sized changing benches, peninsula toilets and space for carers.

The government wants to see a step change in the number of Changing Places toilets across the country. This is why at Budget 2021, the Chancellor announced a fund of up to £30 million Changing Places Fund to accelerate the provision in existing buildings in England.

This prospectus builds on the outcome of the first round of the Changing Places Fund and sets out how eligible local authorities can access this second and final round. Expressions of interest must be submitted by 30 September 2022.
