About Us
As a group of disable people who were struggling to go out for the day with dignity.
As a group of disabled people who were struggling to attend any kind of event or go out for the day with dignity; in fact for people like ourselves, using the standard disabled toilet facility either indoors or the ‘plastic accessible Portaloo’ was impossible.
For those who are not or do not know a person with complex accessibility requirements, it is also likely that they have never considered some of the obstacles faced when trying to do the most basic of activities on a daily basis, which many of others take for granted. One such activity is personal hygiene and the use of bathroom and toilet facilities whilst out and about with their families, friends, or personal assistants.
This meant that we either avoided many social activities or, starved ourselves of food and liquid leading up to any place or event we wanted to go to, or trying to find a private space large enough to be placed on to the floor! So, we decided to provide AccessoLoos here because the current offering was just not good enough.

There are currently 13 Changing Places toilets and 4 step-down facilities in Ireland and the campaign continues to increase this number. Changing Places Ireland consists of parents, elected representatives and organisations working in the disability space including the Disability Federation of Ireland, Irish Wheelchair Association and Inclusion Ireland.
Changing Places Campaign UK
The Changing Places Consortium launched its campaign in 2006 on behalf of the over 1/4 of a million people who cannot use standard accessible toilets. This includes people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, as well as older people. With over 1400 Changing Places in the UK and more opening on a weekly basis, the campaign here is gaining in momentum.
