James Stuart-Smith (Changing Places International) – Changing Places: Go or No-go

James Stuart-Smith, Trustee at Changing Places International, is the next confirmed speaker at our 17th EFDN #Morethanfootball Conference in Liverpool on 9 & 11 May 2022.

James Stuart-Smith was founder of the Astor Bannerman Group, pan-European manufacturers of award-winning special needs equipment, and has been a key player in the growth of Changing Places in the UK.  In 2019 he established the non-profit Changing Places International to bring the transformational benefits of Changing Places (Fully Accessible Wash- and Hygiene Rooms) to communities and venues internationally.   He has first-hand experience of how Football Clubs can successfully build inclusiveness in their communities.

”The impact of Changing Places Toilets in the UK has been recognised by over £30m of government funding.   They have become the norm in UK stadiums (with LFC being one of the first) and we see first hand the  difference they make for the whole family on matchdays. Roll-out has started outside the UK with strong local acceptance. Find out how and why these facilities are so vital, the latest in legislation and norms, and the transformational benefits these facilities give to both communities and clubs.”
