It's been described by Author Ian Rankin as 'Trip Advisor with wheels on.' It is a registered charity in Scotland (SC045492). HistoryThe site was co-founded by Euan MacDonald and his sister Kiki. MacDonald uses a powerchair and wanted to discover more places to visit.[1][2] MacDonald said: "Lots of disabled people have favourite places to go out but that information often doesn’t get shared and everyone has to reinvent the wheel. The hope is to provide a platform to share that information and to help people get out."[3] The site has been endorsed by JK Rowling and Professor Stephen Hawking.[4] The Guardian named Euan's Guide as one of the Tech Innovations that could improve lives in 2015[5] and in 2014 the site won the 'People's Choice Award' at the BT Infinity Lab Connected Society competition.[6] Euan's Guide was also the lead sponsor of the first Disabled Access Day which took place in 2015.[7][8] Disabled Access DayEuan's Guide is the main sponsor of Disabled Access Day, a biannual event in the United Kingdom, raising awareness of the access issues faced by many disabled people. The next and fourth Disabled Access Day will take place on 16th March 2019. Red Cord Cards'Red Cord Cards' help to improve safety in accessible toilets. The cards created by Euan's Guide are designed to be easily attached to emergency red pull cords in toilets. They inform people of the importance of leaving the cords untied and reaching all the way to the floor.[9] There have been over 30,000 requests for the charity's Red Cord Cards since the initiative was launched in 2015.
