PHOENIX, AZ (February 20, 2024) – The Children’s Museum of Phoenix is proud to announce the receipt of a generous $10,000 grant dedicated to the installation of an adult changing table within their facilities. This transformative contribution, generously provided by Thunderbirds Charities, marks a significant step towards fostering inclusivity and accessibility within this beloved institution.
The installation of an adult changing table is a crucial addition to the Children’s Museum of Phoenix, ensuring that visitors of all ages and abilities feel welcome and accommodated during their visit. While the Museum primarily caters to children, they recognize that visitors with different abilities, including older children and adults, may require additional support and facilities. This initiative aligns with their commitment to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can fully participate and enjoy their experience.
“We are immensely grateful for the generous support of Thunderbirds Charities in making this project a reality,” said Georgie Hanlin, the Museum’s Director of Development. “The installation of an adult changing table underscores our dedication to accessibility and inclusion, ensuring that all members of our community can engage with our exhibits and programs comfortably.”
Visitors to children’s museums come from diverse backgrounds and have varying needs. By introducing facilities like adult changing tables, the Museum aims to remove barriers and provide a more inclusive experience for families and individuals alike.
This funding will enable the Museum to install state-of-the-art adult changing facilities that meet the highest standards of safety, hygiene, and accessibility. Additionally, it represents a significant investment in the long-term sustainability and growth of the Museum, allowing them to better serve the community for years to come.
The Children’s Museum of Phoenix remains committed to championing inclusivity and accessibility in all aspects of their operations and they extend their heartfelt gratitude to Thunderbirds Charities for their unwavering support and partnership in this endeavor.
Installation of the changing table is set for later this year.
