An Angus pub put on a bushtucker challenge for patrons in aid of a good cause.
Grant Speed set up the Loo Tour de Britain to help his sister, Lois, niece and nephew in their constant battle to access a suitable changing facility when they are out and about for the day.
He wants to raise money to build a Changing Places toilet in their home town of Arbroath.
The family joined friends and patrons at the Old Mason’s Arms in Forfar to raise money and awareness for their efforts.
Live crickets, beetles and other delicacies were washed down with soft drinks and the odd lager.
Lois believes that a Changing Places toilet in Arbroath would not only benefit her son and daughter but many other individuals, families and carers who face similar difficulties and who could also use this type of facility.
Grant completed a charity cycle from Leeds to Arbroath in July, raising around £10,000.
Lois outlined to a meeting of Angus Council the restrictions the lack of disabled toilets in Angus places on her family.
She said: “My son Kein and daughter Kelsey are 14-year-old teenage twins who both have muscular dystrophy, a degenerative muscle-wasting condition.
“They lost the ability to walk during their primary school years and continue to have muscle weakness in their upper body.
“It affects all their muscle functions. As a parent I am constantly supporting my children to face the daily challenges and barriers that having a disability brings whether it is physical, environmental or attitudinal.
“We, at times, experience discrimination, inequality and a real lack of understanding from others.
“However, over the last couple years, as Kein and Kelsey have grown into young adults, we have been faced with the biggest obstacle yet, which is finding suitable toilet facilities while out and about in and around Angus.
“Kein and Kelsey both require the use of a hoist and changing table for every toilet manoeuvre.
“As a result of this my brother and I set up Loo Tour de Britain for Changing Places, which has raised almost £10,000,” Lois said.
“I would like to now ask that members of the council support us to install a Changing Places toilet in our home town of Arbroath where a potential location has already been identified and also throughout the rest of the Angus towns.”
Changing Places is a national campaign started by Pamis, the Dundee University-based charity, and now supported by more than 170 organisations and agencies in the UK.
