This form is for motorway service stations to apply for funding from Muscular Dystrophy UK and the Department for Transport for the purpose of installing a Changing Places toilet. The funding is part of the Department for Transport's Inclusive Transport Strategy which aims to improve accessibility across all types of travel for people with visible and less visible disabilities.
The funding is only available for motorway service stations in England. We will not consider applications for service stations on other road networks or in others parts of the United Kingdom.
Applications must come directly from the motorway service station or operator; you cannot nominate a service station or apply on their behalf.
The application deadline is close of play of July 12th 2019. Applications will then be reviewed and the results will be announced by the end of September 2019. As there is a limited amount of money available we will not be able to agree to fund all bids received.
If the application is successful then 50% match funding will be payable by means of a single grant payment, paid upon completion of the project. The operator is responsible for all associated and ongoing maintenance costs.
If you have any questions in the meantime or require more time to complete the application then please email changingplaces@musculardystrophyuk.org
Please note: forms cannot be saved and then returned to and you should complete a separate form for each service station.
