More Music is thrilled to open new, purpose-built facilities, which will provide life-changing freedoms for those with complex needs.

We have built a new fully accessible changing facility to “Changing Places “specification on the ground floor along with a new social space, kitchen facilities and additional meeting area.

The bathrooms are large and comfortable, particularly for people with disabilities and their carers. Larger than standard, they offer space to manoeuvre a wheelchair, with up to two carers present. The toilet includes a height-adjustable changing bench and wash basin, ceiling track with hoist, as well as a privacy screen and shower facilities.

Project manager Maxine Draycott said, “These fantastic new facilities increase the accessibility of our building, demonstrate our commitment to inclusion ensuring a welcoming and safe space for everyone”.

This work has been supported with funds from the Bruce Wake Charitable Trust, Walney Extension Community Fund and the Lancashire Environmental Fund.
