We love seeing Changing Places facilities integrated into everyday spaces – and ASDA Yeovil is a brilliant example of how this can be done thoughtfully and effectively.
Located within the heart of the fruit and veg section, alongside the standard toilet facilities, the Changing Places toilet is clearly signposted and easy to access during store opening hours.
Whether you’re doing the weekly shop or popping in for essentials, this facility ensures that disabled customers and their carers can plan their visit with confidence and dignity.
The Importance of Changing Places in Supermarkets
Changing Places toilets in supermarkets are vital – not only do they provide the space and equipment needed for safe, dignified toileting and personal care, they also open up the possibility of more independent, enjoyable trips out.
No one should have to cut their day short or avoid the weekly shop due to a lack of suitable facilities. ASDA has taken a proactive approach by introducing Changing Places in many of its stores across the UK, including Bedminster, Barnsley, Morley, and Great Bridge. Each one is a step towards making retail more inclusive for everyone.

Everyday Accessibility Matters
ASDA’s commitment to installing Changing Places toilets across many of their stores shows a real understanding of how vital these facilities are—not just as a ‘nice to have’, but as an essential part of making public spaces accessible for all.
We’re proud to have supplied and supported the installation at Yeovil and hope it brings more freedom, comfort and ease to every visitor who needs it.
Supporting Supermarkets Across the UK
we’re proud to support supermarket chains in creating accessible environments that work for everyone. In addition to our work with ASDA, we’ve supplied and installed Changing Places facilities for other leading retailers including Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, and Co-op.
Whether it’s retrofitting an existing store or planning a new build, we work closely with store teams, architects and access consultants to ensure every facility meets the highest standards.
By continuing to collaborate with supermarkets across the country, we’re helping to make everyday tasks—like picking up the groceries—accessible, comfortable, and dignified for all.
