Nicholas Kent (Changing Places International) Presents – Changing Places: Go or No-go.
Nicholas Kent, Trustee at Changing Places International, is the next confirmed speaker at our 17th EFDN #Morethanfootball Conference in Liverpool on 9 & 11 May 2022.
Nick Kent has been in the accessibility equipment sector for over 20 years and is co-founder of Aveso, who funded and supported Changing Places since 2013. After helping achieve 1700 Changing Places in the UK, from Anfield to Windsor Castle, Aveso is focussing on advising on and supporting the roll-out of Changing Places worldwide in the sports, leisure, transport and tourism industries. With EU norms now in place and legislation in the UK, Singapore, Australia and nearly 50% of the US states, the installation of Changing Places is fast moving from a nicety to a necessity.
The impact of Changing Places Toilets in the UK has been recognised by over £30m of government funding. They have become the norm in UK stadiums (with LFC being one of the first) and we see first hand the difference they make for the whole family on matchdays. Roll-out has started outside the UK with strong local acceptance. Find out how and why these facilities are so vital, the latest in legislation and norms, and the transformational benefits these facilities give to both communities and clubs.
