PAMIS is delighted that The Scottish Government has included an additional £10 million for Changing Places Toilets in Scotland over the next three financial years in the draft Scottish budget, which brings the total investment to £20 million and signals a strong ongoing commitment to accessibility and inclusion by the Scottish Parliament.

PAMIS is aware of the closure of the Changing Places Toilet at Simpsons Garden Centre in Fochabers. This is obviously a key location in an area with limited facilities and therefore we have contacted their team to highlight the urgent need for this essential facility to remain open.

Changing Places Toilets are a lifeline for families and individuals with complex needs, and their availability directly affects whether people can visit, travel, and fully participate in community life.

This centre also provides purposeful and meaningful activity and connection, and we have heard from families and individuals about what a special place it is to visit.

We know that facilities such as the toilets may not always be used but we also know that not having a toilet would stop many of us from visiting a location. We will therefore be strongly urging the centre to reconsider this decision in the interests of accessibility, inclusion, and dignity for all.

DID YOU KNOW that ice skating is already accessible to wheelchair users? No special equipment required for inclusive fun. While the hockey season is winding down, there’s still time to try it for yourself.

It has been ONE WEEK since our very memorable last skate of the season with the Glasgow Clan, and we’re still feeling the thrills from the fun.

The warm welcome and fast skates from the players made all the difference for our PAMIS Families and we are so grateful to the team for your partnership in creating these opportunities.

The Changing Places toilet at Glasgow Central Station is currently out of order due to water leak. The Network Rail team are investigating this and it will hopefully reopen soon.

For those who need a facility, the closest CPT is the St Enoch Centre and Glasgow Queen Street.

PAMIS spent a wonderful afternoon at the David Livingstone Birthplace on Friday.

Land of Connection: Mary’s story was a wonderful performance by Empower Women for Change. Through spoken word, song and dance, the woman led the audience through a performance, linking their own experiences as minority ethnic women living in Scotland to Mary Moffat’s life as a woman living between continents. We were treated to wonderful African food, too.

PAMIS currently host regular events at the museum and hopes to undertake further collaboration with the centre

Reminder - The Pamiloo is at Spectra, Scotland's Festival of Light, tonight until 10pm and tomorrow from 4.30pm to 10pm.

We will be parked beside Rosemount Viaduct. Come and say hello!

Thanks to funding from the Aberdeen HSCP carers strategy Implementation group and the enthusiasm of the Spectra team, PAMIS were able to facilitate the Pamiloo at Spectra for the full length of the 4-night festival for the first time ever. This sensory and artistic wonder just got even more incLOOsive.
