The Changing Places Toilet will ensure our site is more accessible and inclusive for visitors and groups with complex\u00a0needs, who can now visit us without worrying about\u00a0access challenges\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The opening of the Changing\u00a0Places toilet came ahead of the museum&#8217;s second dedicated Access Day on Wednesday, April 3. This event showcased the range of accessible activities and initiatives on offer at the venue. Touch and Access Tours, Quiet Hours and Object Handling workshops. A number of the families who visited commented on how delighted they were with the new facility, and that it made a real difference to their visit. The museum is extremely grateful to all the donor organisations who made this project a reality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information visit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.changing-places.org\/find\">https:\/\/www.changing-places.org\/find<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.changing-places.org\/find?toilet=2851\">https:\/\/www.changing-places.org\/find?toilet=2851<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The British Motor Museum is delighted to have been awarded funding for a new Changing Places toilet, a partnership between the Department for Levelling Up, <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/2024\/04\/18\/changing-places-at-the-british-motor-museum\/\" title=\"CHANGING PLACES AT THE BRITISH MOTOR MUSEUM\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29309\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
