IoW campaigning group seeks supporters –
.
The Campaign for Changing Places Toilets (CPT) on the IoW is inviting interested parties to join in with its campaign to have more of these much needed facilities installed in large public places and spaces across the Island.
.
Standard accessible toilets meet the needs of some people with disabilities – but not all. An increasing number of people living on the Island, in fact across the UK, need personal assistance to use the toilet or change continence pads. They need Changing Places Toilets – with a changing bench, hoist and plenty of space.
.
Affiliated with the national Changing Places Consortium we raise awareness of these much needed facilities across all sectors.
.
In 2010 we held talks with Sainsbury’s and the CPT in their Newport store is nearing completion. The facility in Sainsbury’s will be only the 3rd such toilet across the whole of the Island. One is in the Riverside Centre and the 2nd is in County Hall
