Disabled students are campaigning to get a disabled toilet at the establishment Tokyo, which holds a YUSU Club Night on Thursdays.
This is part of a wider campaign to make clubs in York, especially those with YUSU affiliations, more accessible. This includes installing ramps at the front and making sure they all have functioning disabled toilets.
Thomas Ron, Disabled Students’ Officer, commented; “It is crucial the YUSU club nights be accessible to all. As a Network we have met with some club leaders and there is a clear understanding that clubs need to change, and that the situation where Toyko does not even have a disabled toilet is unsustainable”
Co-ordinating the campaign, Goodricke Disabled Students’ Officer Callum Dziedzic, commented; “We are attempting to improve the accessibility of all YUSU affiliated clubs, as many don’t have step free access and accessible bathrooms, particularly Kuda and Tokyo.
