How much is your ability to find suitable toilets away from home an influencing factor on when, and where, you go?
A new survey has highlighted that, if you or someone you care for has a limitation, the answer to that question is it has a massive impact.
The survey, undertaken by Closomat, Britain’s leading provider of accessible toilet equipment for domestic and on-domestic environments, looked at the influencing factors for disabled people when they are away from home- particularly their ability to find somewhere suitable to ‘go’.
Many disabled people(*) maintain the Regulatory (Document M type) wheelchair-accessible toilet is inaccessible to them: it doesn’t give enough space, nor appropriate fixtures and fittings to help them and their carer(s) transfer, or be transferred, safely, from a wheelchair, or be hygienic with their intimate care.
And it’s not just wheelchair users that are affected. People with continence issues, stoma, people who need a carer to help them, or have an assistance dog, all report that accessible toilets are actually in-accessible.
The changes/ equipment they need, but lack, are:
And the places they would most like to see toilets that included more space, a hoist and changing bench (aka a Changing Places or Space to Change toilet) are:
The survey highlights how something as basic as being able to go to the toilet when out and about influences where you go- whether it’s to do the weekly shop, retail therapy, have a drink with friends, or enjoy a day out.
It shows that a facility so often taken for granted by able people- is a major factor for people with limitations, and those who care for, assist and support them, when away from home.
It comes as, for the first time, the UK sees an accessible shopping day- Purple Tuesday (November 13). But we all know, if you’re going shopping, you may well need to ‘spend a penny’…..
If you can’t find a suitable loo, would you go to that outlet?
Maybe it’s worth going there, and asking them if they could provide suitable toilets. Maybe there isn’t one because the management simply is not aware that the toilets are an issue.
There is never any harm in asking!
Closomat has produced a handy campaigner pack. Copies are available free on request: email info@clos-o-mat.com with your name and address for yours.

Does easy access to a toilet determine where you go out? A really interesting survey from closomatuk provides some fascinating insight. Eg 87% of respondents had left somewhere early due to lack of suitable toilets. More from the survey here https://t.co/BNryyP1n87

As a live in carer in London, you might think about the range of things you could do with the person you are caring for. In this article we look at the range of trips and days out you could go in London.
Here are the top 15 things you could do and you can find more information on these below.
While the city of London boasts a wide range of attractions that are just waiting to be discovered, exploring the city with elderly parents or grandparents can pose a bit of a challenge due to their mobility issues.
If you are a live in carer and are wondering where to take my grandma in London, read on to discover our top ideas for days out for the elderly in London.
Taking a bus ride around the city is sure to be among the leading things to do in London for the elderly.
There are plenty of different routes to choose from that take visitors past many of London’s most iconic attractions.
This is an ideal London tour for elderly, as your relative will be able to sit back and relax as the city’s top attractions slide slowly past them.
This famous sight takes place on certain days of the year and never fails to attract large crowds. Make sure that you arrive early so that you can secure a good position at the front of the crowd and be prepared to get caught up in the vibrant atmosphere.
Treat your relative to the chance to see the city of London from a different point of view by taking them for a ride on the London Eye.
Each of the capsules is large and comfortable and it is possible to reserve an entire capsule for your family for extra comfort. Make sure that you purchase your tickets in advance and choose the Fast Track option so that you can save your elderly relative the inconvenience of having to queue.
Lovers of authentic Chinese cuisine will find plenty of excellent restaurants to choose from in Chinatown. While this part of London is bursting with charm, there is no need for visitors to walk too much in order to appreciate it.
Many of the restaurants here offer all-you-can-eat deals, which allows families the chance to linger and eat their fill before exploring the city once more.
Your relatives are sure to love taking in a musical in one of London’s West End theatres and this is the perfect way to help make sure that the day out is extra special.
Most West Musicals offer matinee shows, which means that you can enjoy the experience to the full without having to worry about staying up too late.
Riding in a boat along the River Thames is one of the activities for elderly in London that people of all ages can enjoy.
A large number of world famous attractions can be viewed in comfort and style in this way such as Tower Bridge, the Houses of Parliament and Millennium Bridge.
Most boats that wind their way along the River Thames also come complete with a tour guide, who will explain the historical and cultural importance of the attractions as the boat slowly sails past them.
On a sunny day you can head to the picturesque Regent’s Park to explore one of England’s biggest and most popular zoos.
Animals from all over the world can be found here and are displayed in surprisingly large and natural enclosures. One of the things that makes ZSL London Zoo one of the best visitor attractions in London for the elderly is the fact that wheelchairs are available to hire here.
London tours for seniors do not need to be boring and people who have a head for heights are sure to love the chance to see the city in a whole new way.
Helicopter rides last for a maximum of 30 minutes and have a capacity to comfortably seat up to six people. This is sure to be a thrilling experience that will not be forgotten in a hurry.
People who lived through World War II are likely to enjoy the chance to explore the once secret underground rooms that were used by Winston Churchill.
This is the very place where the former Prime Minister planned out his war strategies. Accessing the underground rooms is easy as a lift is provided from street level.
No trip to London would be complete without taking the time to explore this stunning cathedral.
People who have limited mobility will still find that getting around is easy, as a lift can be found in the South entrance that takes visitors into the main part to the cathedral as well as the crypt.
Simply sitting in a rowing boat and relaxing is among the most popular activities for elderly in London.
You can take care of the rowing duties while your elderly relative unwinds in style. At the end of the boat trip you can then enjoy a picnic on the grass in Hyde Park if you wish.
When your elderly relative needs a break from seeing the sights of the city, treat them to afternoon tea in one of London’s most elegant establishments.
This is the perfect way to make sure that days out for the elderly in London do not get too taxing and there will be plenty of time to relax while enjoy some light refreshment. Some of the best establishments in London that offer after tea include The Ritz, Fortnum & Mason, Claridge’s and Rosewood London.
If your relative has something to share, make sure that you take them to Speaker’s Corner on a Sunday.
This is sure to be one of the most memorable and original things to do in London for the elderly. Everyone is welcome to have their say hear and listening to the other people who gather to give their opinions can also be an interesting and enlightening experience.
This iconic church can be found in Trafalgar Square and boasts a rich history that is just waiting to be discovered. Free lunchtime concerts are held here throughout the year on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.
Make sure that your elderly relative secures a comfortable seat and let them get caught up in the magic of one of these stirring music concerts.
Before heading home at the end of this very special day out, you can treat your relative to a drink in one of the city’s oldest watering holes.
London boasts a large number of historic pubs, many of which date back several hundreds of years. Some of the top options to choose from include The Nag’s Head, The Dog and Duck, Ye Olde Mitre Tavern and The Black Friar.
