Museum Gets Changing Places

Museum  Gets Changing Places

One of Sheffield’s most popular museums has now become more accessible thanks to the installation of a Changing Places Toilet.

The new addition at Weston Park Museum is funded by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities with support from Sheffield City Council and in association with Muscular Dystrophy UK.

The facility is the first in the city to be installed as part of the Government’s Changing Places fund.

Changing Places toilets have more space than usual and equipment including a height adjustable changing bench, a peninsular toilet and a celling hoist, which can be used by people with a variety of disabilities. It is believed that over a quarter of a million people need to use them.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
