Expect lots of tweets about #ChangingPlaces toilets, TV shows, films, WRU and more. All views are my own.

We recently got Disney+ to help us through quarantine. Let's be honest, nothing is quite as reassuringly comforting as Disney and right now we need that in spades. What follows is a thread about my take on the films we have watched, some new to me and some very familiar...

Incredible news! Well done to Scotland for being the trailblazer here. Hopefully others will follow. Congratulations to all those who have campaigned so tirelessly to make this change possible 💙

[Spinal Muscular Atrophy UK @SMA_UK_]

Today marks a monumental milestone, one we are proud to celebrate, as Scotland introduces newborn screening for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) 📣

Newborn screening is long overdue for SMA, particularly given the emergence and availability of life changing treatments over the last 7+ years. Hoping this marks a growing focus on rare conditions. https://t.co/aVc3bSzHQq

Always a delight stumbling across a #ChangingPlacesToilet when out and about but even better when it's in my local area. I think Walthamstow now has three CPs although only this one is registered with @ChangingPlaceUK currently. @wfcouncil something to action?

[Clare Lucas @gilbylu]

We had a fabulous afternoon at Thetford Forest yesterday searching for the Gruffalo, picking up acorns and exploring their *many* playgrounds. I was particularly delighted to find they had a @ChangingPlaceUK toilet available too so more families can enjoy this wonderful spot 💙

[Clare Lucas @gilbylu]

Today is #ChangingPlaces toilet awareness day! It is such an important and positive campaign that helps transform lives. I always love spotting CP toilets when out with friends and family or getting photos sent to me by people that get it. Keep up the great work all! #CPAD2025

[stellacreasy @stellacreasy]

I appeal to all MPs who have been sent campaign briefings suggesting NC20 increases Secretary of State powers to read this from @tonyvaughanMP and ask what real agenda is of those misleading you to vote down human rights protections for your constituents: https://t.co/3PyjXrB0vx

It makes my heart SO happy to know that one of my favourite spots from home is now accessible to more people thanks to this #ChangingPlacesToilet at the beautiful Rhossili Bay. This is a special one for me 💙

[Clare Lucas @gilbylu]

Visited the stunning @sohotheatre in #Walthamstow last night. I was delighted to see they have a #ChangingPlacesToilet and that staff knew all about it and were proud of it. Thrilled to see more inclusive venues in my area- now we just need them registered with @ChangingPlaceUK

[Clare Lucas @gilbylu]

I am SO excited that the @ChangingPlaceUK map now has journey planning functionality AND that there are so many service stations that provide #ChangingPlaces toilets. It is all thanks to tireless campaigning and enabled by @transportgovuk funding. Things have come a long way 💙💙

[Changing Places UK @ChangingPlaceUK]

Thanks to additional funding from @transportgovuk, we are delighted to launch today our new Journey Planner with increased functionality for planning, saving and downloading your travel routes.

@ChangingPlaceUK @LoooftheYear Couldn't go to a better person. Martin is a true legend in the #ChangingPlacesToilet world who has dedicated so much of his life and passion to the cause. Not to mention the fact that he is also just an incredibly kind and lovely man 💙

[Clare Lucas @gilbylu]

A birthday trip to @ZSLWhipsnadeZoo called for a @ChangingPlaceUK selfie with my boy. I felt a little weepy hearing him shout out "Changing Places!" for the first time 🥹 Great signage to help people find the toilet too 💙👍

[Clare Lucas @gilbylu]

Finally got round to watching #WillAndHarper and absolutely loved it. Amazing to be a witness to these important and open conversations between two people as they rediscover the depth and beauty of their friendship and love for one another ❤️ https://t.co/VYyttlOHKh

[Clare Lucas @gilbylu]

I will never get tired of my nearest and dearest sending me photos of #ChangingPlacesToilets when they see them 💙 This one was snapped by my bestie @PaultonsPark - thanks for being incLOOsive for all your visitors!

[Clare Lucas @gilbylu]

There is often a focus on introversion being about social awkwardness/anxiety but it is far more nuanced than that. We need to recognise and celebrate the value of both extroverts *and* introverts in our society https://t.co/CcdARLqVQD

[Clare Lucas @gilbylu]

Double thumbs up for @SwanWalkShop for having this #ChangingPlaces toilet available for visitors! Love the extra large signage and great to see it was being cleaned when we popped by (although the lady was a little bemused at my excitement!)

Is it even a holiday if we don't visit somewhere with a @ChangingPlaceUK toilet?! We were delighted to see this one @_africaalive. A reminder that venues with ample outdoor space can install modular CP toilets and open their venue up to thousands of new visitors 💙

[Clare Lucas @gilbylu]

Hi @17andCentral! As a Walthamstow resident I am delighted that the shopping centre has a @ChangingPlaceUK toilet but please register it so that people know it is available > Changing Places Toilets (https://t.co/iRls5F6zav) #CPAD2024
