Changing Places Facility at Sainsbury’s, Winchburgh

Sainsbury’s Superstore, Duntarvie Castle Road, Winchburgh, EH52 6FJ

As part of the major regeneration of Winchburgh, West Lothian, this new Sainsbury’s store was developed to meet the needs of a growing population and to deliver inclusive access to all customers.

A fully compliant Changing Places toilet was installed to support shoppers with complex disabilities, ensuring that every visitor can use the store safely and with dignity.

Astor Bannerman were proud to work alongside the project team to deliver a high-quality, future-proof Changing Places facility within this new-build site.

Making Retail More Inclusive

Sainsbury’s now has over 40 registered Changing Places facilities across its UK estate, demonstrating a strong commitment to accessibility and inclusion. These facilities are vital for individuals who cannot use a standard accessible toilet, providing the space, equipment and dignity required for safe personal care.

By continuing to invest in Changing Places, Sainsbury’s is helping to remove barriers and create more welcoming retail environments for all.

Accessible Shopping
