Our "Changing Places" disability changing equipment has now been installed at Bath Sports and Leisure Centre, thanks to funding from the National Lottery.

People with profound and multiple learning disabilities, as well people with other physical disabilities such as spinal injuries, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis often need extra equipment and space to allow them to use the toilets safely and comfortably. These needs are met by Changing Places toilets. 

The funding has provided:

  • An adjustable changing bed
  • A tracking hoist system
  • A shower chair

The room includes a shower, plenty of space for carers and is floored with non-slip tiles. We would like to say a big thank you to the National Lottery’s Big Lottery Fund for funding this equipment and hope the improvement in changing provision allows more people from Bath and North East Somerset to enjoy the benefits of swimming regularly.
