Martin Jackaman
Day Service Modernisation Manager
Nottingham City Council
Martin's nomination recognises his relentless drive and persistence in developing 'Changing Place' toilets in Nottingham transforming the lives of people with profound multiple learning disabilities and their carers. Martin identified a major barrier facing carers. Using his experience, knowledge, networking skills, humour and enthusiasm he went on a mission to directly improve peoples lives. Nottingham's 'Changing Place Toilet' opened in July 2006 and immediately gained a 5 star, Loo of the Year Award, and the concept is trying to be taken nationwide.
