Changing Places toilets are absolutely vital for thousands of people in Scotland. We need so more of these life changing facilities. There are still huge gaps in provision particularly across the Highlands and islands. Read more about how budget cuts have affected CPT funding:
It was recently confirmed that the Scottish Government would “seek to reprofile the commencement of the #ChangingPlaces toilet fund” as part of an £18.8million reduction to the mental health budget for financial years 2024/2025. Read more here:

Absolute admiration for all @CharlieHouseHQ do.
Did you know that over a 1/4 million people in the UK need Changing Places Toilets? This includes many Charlie House supported families.
We are proud to work closely with @PAMIS_Scotland on a regular basis at our activities 🧡🧡
Brilliant!!!!!!

Did you know Moto has 38 @ChangingPlaceUK toilets, 30 of which were part-funded by @transportgovuk! 🚽
We're committed to ensuring everyone can travel freely, which is why we have more Changing Places than any other UK MSA operator.

Today is changing places awareness day. @ChangingPlacesI have made lots of progress and their advocacy has led to significant changes in legislation. Every public building should have one, every shopping centre, every library, every town and village. The difference they make to people's lives is immeasurable. @aarondalydub

The Changing Places campaign has seen some incredible success in recent years, but the fight for equality for disabled people is far from won. #CPAD2024 #ChangingPlaces

@pamis_scotland worked with @networkrailscot on the plans for a new #ChangingPlaces toilet at Troon Railway Station. This has now been installed in the new station building and will be registered and ready for users soon. Details to follow when open. Great news! #CPAD2024
Thank you for everything you and Kris have done to tirelessly campaign and raise awareness over many years. The progress in Falkirk area is a best practice example for Scotland.
About 6yrs ago we approached @falkirkcouncil to highlight there was zero #ChangingPlaces in Falkirk. They listened and formed a steering group that @Bairnybridge and @LauraRutherford and I have been partners in since the beginning. We now have 6 with more planned. #Grateful

Every day is different which is why I love this job and being part of the incredible team at @PAMIS_Scotland. Obviously having an amazing colleague like @LauraRutherford also helps! Working alongside @ChangingPlaceUK team to support access and inclusion is so rewarding.

It's @ChangingPlaceUK Awareness Day! A day to shout about the life changing impact of fully accessible toilets. I still proudly get photos every time I spot one and am trying to pass the same enthusiasm onto my son because #incLOOsion matters 💙 #CPAD2024 changing-places.org/

Pamis worked with Network Rail on the plans for a new #ChangingPlaces toilet at Troon train station.
We are delighted that they are installing one in the new station building, which will open up Troon & all it has to offer for Changing Places toilet users & their families.

Happy #ChangingPlaces toilet awareness day! Today is a day to not only raise awareness of these life-changing facilities, but celebrate how far we have come with #incLOOsion in the UK.
