00:00Hi, can you tell me a bit about what it means to have the Changing Places facilities here
00:07at this big new food hall?
00:08Yeah, I mean I think for most of us guys at Fair Play, it just means that you can do everything
00:14that everyone else can do and there's accessibility for everyone. So for Jack, if he didn't have
00:19a Changing Places facilities, we can't come out for the full day, it cuts short any days
00:24that we'd have to go back to the centre and use the Changing Places. So for people like
00:31Jack and his friends, it just means that they can come out for a full day and they've got
00:36that choice whether they can go into the Changing Places and have the facilities for them.
00:43And Sheffield as a whole, how is it when it comes to Changing Places facilities and access
00:47to those facilities?
00:48What do you think? Do you think it's good? You think it's quite good, don't you? We've
00:53done quite a lot in Sheffield and we're going here, there and everywhere. We find a lot
00:56of accessible toilets but not Changing Places, which Jack and his other friend can only use
01:02the Changing Places. So there's one in the Town Hall that's quite difficult, but in general
01:09we find Sheffield quite easy, don't we? Especially with the transport links and the different
01:14restaurants and pubs and everyone's quite accommodating as well. So everyone helps us
01:18out, don't they, wherever we go? We're quite friendly.
01:22And what do you think of the food hall here generally?
01:24What do you reckon, Jack? Yeah? He's excited to try some food because there's such a variety
01:30of food. We're a bit of food experts, aren't we? So we like to try stuff. So we're ready
01:35to go and have a try this afternoon, aren't we? Yeah.
