B R I T I SH MOTOR MUSUEM RECEIVES FUNDING FOR CHANGING PLACES LOO
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, Housing & Communities (DLUHC) and Muscular Dystrophy UK in association with Stratford on Avon District Council.
Changing Places toilets are designed for people who are unable to use standard accessible toilets and include equipment such as hoists, privacy screens, adult-sized changing benches and space for carers. The installation of this facility will further enhance the Museum's accessibility, helping to open up the vehicle collections to those who may not previously have been able to visit.
Emma Rawlinson, Family & Lifelong Learning Officer at the British Motor Museum, said, “This fantastic facility really does make the British Motor Museum a place for everyone. The Changing Places Toilet will ensure our site is more accessible and inclusive for visitors and groups with complex needs”.

L ICHF I E LD GA R R ICK THE AT R E LET THE ARTS EXTRAVAGANZA BEGIN
Have you ever imagined yourself enjoying a tango class at your local community centre, performing a Shakespearean classic in a green space, or trying your hand at creative writing? Whatever your creative interests, the time has come to raise your voice and get involved in shaping the future of cultural opportunities in your home town.
A dynamic new three-year partnership has been unveiled between Lichfield Garrick Theatre and Burntwood Town Council, with the aim of offering an annual program of creative activities, in Burntwood and tailor-made for Burntwood residents.
Lichfield Garrick Theatre, which celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year, has attracted thousands of Burntwood residents to shows over the years, but hasn’t typically ventured out of its building into the community. As the Garrick charity now seeks to deepen its connection with the communities it serves, it is delighted to be working with Burntwood Town Council to nurture creativity within Burntwood in the coming years.
The inaugural year of this collaboration is all about listening to residents, with the Garrick’s community engagement team out and about, consulting with residents to find out about their

creative and cultural ambitions. They want to know what arts opportunities people are craving - perhaps a dance class for the over 70s, a local youth theatre, or a community choir - so they and Burntwood Town Council can start trying to fill any gaps and work towards a celebration of creativity in the town. In addition to the investment from the Garrick, Burntwood Town Council has generously agreed to contribute £5,000 to help realise the full potential of this exciting partnership.
The opening of the Changing Places toilet came ahead of the Museum's second dedicated Access Day on Wednesday 3 April. This event showcased the range of accessible activities and initiatives on offer at the Museum. Touch and Access Tours, Quiet Hours and Object Handling workshops. The Museum is extremely grateful to all the donor organisations who made this project a reality.
