New Changing Places at Alexandra Palace

A brand new Changing Places at Alexandra Palace in London has opened, providing a state-of-the-art restroom facility for visitors with acute disabilities.

Delivered by leading Changing Places supplier, Innova Care Concepts, the new toilets provide a fully accessible space, including equipment such as a height adjustable changing bench and sink, moveable hoist, changing screen, shower, accessible toilet and space for carers.

The Changing Places at Alexandra Palace will ensure visitors with acute care requirements have the facilities they need to attend the venue’s world-famous events, including live music, sport, festivals, theatre and comedy, as well as its award-winning park, ice rink and creative learning activities.

 

 

 

Funded Changing Places Project

 

The project has been funded by Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust, with support from Haringey Council, and the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, the Span Trust and Chapman Charitable Trust.

Visitors can find the facility on the Changing Places map, having been officially registered with Muscular Dystrophy UK.

It builds on a range of accessible improvements made by the Ally Pally team over the last five years.

A consortium of leading charitable organisations including Muscular Dystrophy UK, Age Concern and the Disability Alliance have been actively campaigning for widespread access to Changing Places since 2006.

“We are dedicated to improving the Park and Palace so that they are accessible and provide a positive visitor experience for everybody. We have made huge strides in recent times through a range of upgrades, working with our visitors with accessible requirements to ensure we provide the services they require. The Changing Places facility will have a transformational impact, enabling us to host audiences that previously may not have considered visiting. We look forward to welcoming people here for the wide variety of events, activities, leisure and learning opportunities that we provide.”
