Mental Health Awareness Week- Take Action

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, this year’s theme is Take Action

 

Sometimes, taking action starts with the basics, feeling comfortable, safe and supported wherever we are.

 

Away-from-home washrooms play an important role in everyday wellbeing, whether we are at work, travelling, shopping, attending events or socialising with friends and family. Access to clean, accessible and well-maintained facilities can reduce anxiety, support dignity and help people feel more confident about getting out and about.

 

For many people, knowing suitable washrooms are available can make the difference between joining in or staying at home.

So this week, let’s recognise that small actions matter:

Maintaining clean facilities

Providing accessible toilets and Changing Places

Ensuring good signage and availability

Creating spaces people feel comfortable using

Because when we improve washrooms, we help improve experiences, inclusion and wellbeing too.
