Life is busy for 26-year-old Jill Clark. While not working as a communications assistant, she enjoys weekly horse rides with her horse Heart, skiing trips and going to watch live music.

Frustratingly, each journey she makes has to be carefully planned. Without access to a specially adapted toilet, called a Changing Places toilet, she simply isn't able to go.

Jill has cerebral palsy. When out with her carers, she needs equipment like a hoist or a changing bed to access a toilet.

Changing Places toilets accommodate these needs as they have extra room for up to two carers and a wheelchair, as well as equipment such as a tracking hoist and an adult changing bench.

Five years ago, Jill decided that action was needed to help get more specially adapted toilets across Scotland, and prevent people being denied the opportunity to get out.

At this point, there were only two toilets she could access locally within the Glasgow West area, a factor which greatly impacted on her ability to live her life as she wanted.

Launching petitions and making awareness videos, Jill found a passion for campaigning and says she is now spurred on by the knowledge that her actions are helping others who also rely on these toilets.

She started calling herself 'the toilet woman' as she dedicated years to the campaign.

"Everywhere has a disabled toilet but a disabled toilet isn't any good for me and any other people who uses a wheelchair and needs a hoist and a changing bed," she says.

"I want to show how difficult it can be for disabled people because everyone takes things for granted like going to the toilet.

"I have always felt strongly about disabled rights.

"The way I see it, having a disability is an ability to do something and mine is making awareness and campaigning.

"I can't go anywhere without thinking 'hold on a minute, will I get to the toilet' and that can be difficult."

The Changing Places campaign was started by the late Loretto Lambe who founded the charity PAMIS, based in Dundee.

In 2003, PAMIS produced a video showing parents having to change their children on dirty toilet floors or in the back of mobility vehicle.

This led to the Changing Places Consortium being set up in 2005, with a group of organisations working to support the rights of people with profound and multiple learning disabilities or other physical disabilities.

For the past 13 years, the consortium has been campaigning for more Changing Places toilets to be installed in all big public spaces to allow people who need access to them more opportunities to enjoy community life, socialise and travel with the same dignity as everyone else.

In Scotland, places like The Macrobert Arts Centre at the University of Stirling, Blair Drummond Safari & Adventure Park and Silverburn Shopping Centre have all installed these toilets, and others are now confirmed for places like Dundee train station.

For Jill, there are now 15 toilets she can access within her local area, and this number is now sitting at more than 170 across Scotland.

Delighted about the changes which have been made, Jill is just as determined as she was five years ago to continue raising awareness and work at increasing this number.

"It is important to raise awareness of disabilities," she says. "I don't like it when somebody looks me and thinks or says 'what a shame'.

"I have cerebral palsy and am in a wheelchair and talk through a talker but I go out and work and do a lot of campaigning, which is really important."

Speaking about the increase in Changing Places toilets, she adds: "It has changed my life. That's why I do campaign.

"It is fantastic to see more toilets over the years and I know that it has changed a lot of disabled people's lives."
