\n\t\t\tAN ACCESSIBLE changing area has been installed at North Solihull Sports Centre.<\/p>\n
Everyone Active in partnership with Solihull Council, have built the brand-new accessible swimming changing room in a bid to improving accessibility and ensuring everyone can enjoy the centre\u2019s facilities.\n<\/p>\n
The \u00a314,000 new changing space includes fully accessible design features such as a height-adjustable changing bed, a new free-standing hoist system and a pool-side hoist to accommodate users with a wide range of mobility needs.<\/p>\n
It will offer people who require hoists or changing beds the space and ability to use the facility.<\/p>\n
\nWayne Desmond, area contract manager at North Solihull Sports Centre, said: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to announce this joint investment into our facility which focuses on inclusion and creating a space where everyone feels welcome and supported to take part in physical activity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly grateful to Solihull Council for working in partnership with us to create our improved accessible changing area. It will ensure that customers with a wide range of varying mobility, disabilities and additional needs can enjoy our leisure services more independently and comfortably.\u201d<\/p>\n
Councillor Tony Dicicco, cabinet member for Public Health, added: \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic news that the accessible changing area is now in place at North Solihull Sports Centre, making it a more welcoming and inclusive place for all Solihull residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re committed to working together with Everyone Active to ensure everyone across the borough can use our leisure centre facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
