Scotland Fund

In August 2025, the Scottish Government launched a new £10million Changing Places Toilets Scotland Fund, designed to help Scottish organisations improve access and inclusion for disabled people and their carers by building new Changing Places Toilets across Scotland. These facilities provide the additional space, necessary equipment, safety and dignity that everyone deserves.

The Fund is being managed by Inspiring Scotland.  The deadline for applications has now passed, closing on Monday 20th October 2025. Organisations are due to be notified about the outcome of their application in December. If you have queries relating to the outcome of your application please get in touch with Inspiring Scotland on [email protected] 

Important guidance for applicants submitting technical plans

Please refer to the PAMIS Changing Places Toilets “example room layout” planning document below which shows the level of detail and information required on all Changing Places Toilets plans submitted for review by PAMIS.  To support quality assurance and ensure your facility meets the needs of users and achieves the gold standard provision that is central to this Fund, PAMIS are reviewing all plans. Only facilities which meet the required standards can be registered and added to the official Changing Places Toilet Consortium UK interactive map.
