NEWSLETTER - November 2015
---

Welcome to the first of our new look Newsletters. The old printed version has been superseded by the on-line version and this should help us reduce costs and communicate stories and updates to you on a more regular basis. We are currently anticipating a monthly issue, and would always be keen to hear your stories and comments. 

The big news is of course the launch of our exciting new Toilet Map project in partnership with Mencap & Pamis. This has been over two years in the making and the management team and I are delighted to finally see this super pilot project rolling out to the public. Additional works are already underway to enhance this programme and news of these will be released in our future newsletters and primarily at the Annual General Meeting in April 2016.

Additionally, please see the article regarding our new Corporate Logo. The management team has been working on this update for over a year and we felt strongly that It was time for an update and a fresh image to better represent the aspirations and the work of the association.

Happy World Toilet Day !
