Hiring a Mobiloo van is an easy way for event organisers to ensure their facilities are inclusive as possible, whilst also removing any bathroom-related hassle and stress for the guests. Something I would have greatly appreciated during a Little Mix concert at the Kent County Showground earlier this year, where the venue size, large crowds, and rough terrain, made it very difficult for disabled guests to safely get around. There was only one disabled toilet next to the accessible viewing area, creating long queues and a very dirty portaloo! Yet I couldn’t even get myself, my carer, and my wheelchair inside, despite the portaloo having a disabled sign on the front.

Because of these poor facilities, the little girl who sat next to me during the concert was forced to leave halfway through, which is unacceptable. Nobody should be forced to leave, simply because there are no facilities for their Carer to safely change them! Like many people, I fed this information back to the event holder, but I am still waiting for a response! I just hope they consider hiring a Mobiloo van in the future to prevent this from happening again!
