Changing Places Toilets Scotland Fund
In December, I confirmed awards from the changing places toilets fund totalling £4.7 million for 59 projects across Scotland. On 20 February, a further £2.3 million was approved for 25 projects, which brought the total figure for awards to more than £7 million for 84 projects.
The provision of the new facilities in communities across Scotland will support people with complex disabilities and health conditions to participate fully in society and access community resources.
The 2026-27 budget, which the Parliament approved, includes an additional £10 million for changing places toilets over the next three financial years. That brings the total investment that has been committed to £20 million.
