In a recent survey of Mumsnet users, we found that the majority of children have needed to go to the bathroom within just 30 minutes of leaving the house and seven in ten parents say not being able to find a toilet in time has resulted in their children doing a ‘wild wee’.
The Use Our Loos campaign, in collaboration with the Great British Toilet Map, has seen almost 12,000 locations, including high street businesses across the nation, sign up and open up their doors to those in need.
As part of the Use Our Loos programme, Domestos are looking to recruit 300 parents to volunteer to carry a “B-Loo-tooth” enabled Use Our Loos button while out and about throughout the month of October, clicking the button once when your child needs to go and you can’t find a loo and twice if you find a local business that lets you use their facilities. You’ll need to download simple app to work with the button; more details to follow.
For this pilot study, we’re looking for parents in Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow only. If you’d be interested in taking part, please click here to sign up. We’ll be in touch within the next couple of weeks if you’re selected with more information.
All who take part in the button study across the month will be entered into a prize draw where three participants will each win a £100 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list).
Here’s what Domestos has to say: “Over the past 20 years there has been a 39% closure rate of council-funded loos in England, Scotland and Wales. That’s why, last year, Domestos and the British Toilet Association launched Use Our Loos, a programme to encourage local businesses to open their doors - for free - to the public when they’re in need of the loo.”
Thanks and good luck
