We are heartbroken to share the news that our co-founder and much loved friend, Euan MacDonald MBE, has passed away after a long fight with Motor Neuron Disease (MND). Euan’s passion and vision led to the creation of our charity Euan’s Guide, which has made life better for hundreds of thousands of disabled people and their loved ones. We are committed to continuing his legacy and growing Euan's Guide in his memory. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this sad time.

Euan’s Guide is the award-winning disabled access charity. We make the world a more accessible place.
About us
Euan’s Guide is the award-winning disabled access charity. We’re best known for EuansGuide.com, the disabled access review website. But we also make tens of thousands of accessible toilets safer, run the UK’s largest Access Survey and lots more! The charity was founded in 2013 by Euan MacDonald MBE, a powerchair user, and his sister Kiki after Euan was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease. They discovered how the lack of disabled access information made everyday experiences stressful and Euan’s Guide was born after discovering that other disabled people experienced the same challenges. We’re a small but mighty charity and always keen to hear from our community. About EuansGuide.com EuansGuide.com is the disabled access review website where disabled people, their families, friends and carers can find and share the accessibility of venues around the UK and beyond. The website shares thousands of experiences and is the go-to tool for many disabled people. We believe in making the world more accessible one review at a time. Thousands of people use Euan’s Guide every month to find and share disabled access information. We often get told that just one review from someone with similar access requirements can give someone else enough confidence to visit somewhere new. Euan’s Guide is opening doors for disabled people to find great places to go. By breaking down barriers of exclusion, it gives everyone the freedom to explore. Who is Euan? After his Motor Neuron Disease (MND) diagnosis in 2003, Euan moved from London back to Edinburgh to be with his family and fundraise for MND research. In 2006, Euan and his father Donald established the Euan MacDonald Centre for MND Research, and helped to set up the Voicebank Project, which is today known as Speak:Unique. Ten years after his diagnosis, Euan’s Guide was launched by Euan and his sister Kiki as a place for disabled people, their families, friends and carers to share their knowledge of accessible places to go.

Ryde Beach, Isle of Wight, opens the Accessibility Project to include beach wheelchairs and a boardwalk. https://buff.ly/3T07FzF Michelle Weatley, an ambassador of the beach accessibility improvements and someone who, along with her family, will benefit from the improvements, said, “Equipment such as a Changing Places toilet, a hoist and beach wheelchairs makes a location accessible to us as a family due to my son being entirely dependent on such items. “We are able to spend a day out and about without the worry of somewhere to change. We can access the sand and sea via the boardwalk and beach wheelchairs. This equipment is life changing for us. We now hope that other beaches on the island will follow in the footsteps of Ryde and open up opportunities and experiences for those with limited mobility.”
Ryde Beach Accessibility Project is officially open!
