We're looking for passionate individuals to help build the Need The Loo campaign. We have lots of different things to work on to move the campaign forward. Find out how you can play a part by filling in the expression of interest.
What is the Need The Loo campaign?
We are a group of Coventry citizens, working with Connecting For Good on a campaign to improve Coventry’s toilet provision in the city centre. We felt motivated to start this campaign after hearing many different experiences from people who need to access toilets easily and without fuss and who are currently struggling to do so with the current provision.
Our findings show that toilet provision in Coventry should be better. Footfall is being impacted, as people limit visits, only go to specific areas or choose other options to avoid the city centre altogether. We have discovered that there are all kinds of people who need access to toilets easily and without fuss. It is our hope that we can work together with the organisations who manage the city centre and those who are responsible for the public toilets to make change. Let’s work together to fix it.
