Video

The Nowhere to Go team worked alongside people with disabilities and their carers to produce a short film outlining some of their experiences in trying to access toilets and what would make a difference. The film can be seen below:

We have also produced some brief clips from the film which may be useful to raise awareness – feel free to use and download.

Video Clips

We have also worked with a local disability charity run by people with visual impairments: Blind Ambition. Together we made a film that captures problems created by spaces and people not being responsive to different kinds of visual impairments.

There are also reports available to read from Nowhere to Go workshops and seminars, as well as links to relevant reports regarding accessibility and toilet provision. These provide information about how the work has developed via the different organisations and people we have worked with.
