Tactile Map Accessibility Project logo

A youth-led access campaign in Surrey, England. Founded 2025.

Where it is installed

The campaign starts in schools, with a free toolkit so any venue can copy the design. This page lists each disabled toilet where a standard tactile map is fitted, with its date and photographs, as installations are confirmed. It also shows the wider goal and how we measure whether the maps are actually used.

The stages

Our first installation is in place, with more planned. Each disabled toilet where a standard map is fitted is listed here as it is confirmed, with the date and photographs. If you run a school, library, leisure centre or council building and fit a map from the free toolkit, tell us and we will add it.

Goal · reach
Town centre

Surrey town-centre sites, with Sight for Surrey

Woking and wider Surrey · a target, not yet installed

Beyond schools, the campaign’s goal is a rollout across public toilets in council-managed buildings, approached through Sight for Surrey, the local sight-loss charity. This is where the petition and a Surrey County Council pilot matter, because the buildings belong to the council rather than to a single school. It is a stated target, not a current installation.


How use is measured

Counting installations is easy and means little on its own. The number that matters is whether blind and partially sighted people use the maps and whether they help. We measure three things, all of which require real people, so they are reported only once they are real.

Maps fitted and still in placeTermly check that the map is mounted, undamaged, and at the right height.
Users who tried the mapThe VI-user feedback form in the toolkit, offered to blind and partially sighted users, never assumed.
"Found what I needed" rateOne question on the feedback form: did the map help you find the flush, the soap, and the emergency cord.

Coverage and gaps

Known gap, stated plainly: this campaign has reach in Surrey and nowhere else, and a single fitted school does not prove the design works at scale. The point of giving the toolkit away is that the design should spread without us. If you fit a map using the specification, tell us and we will list it here with your permission.
