Imagine this: you have a special event coming up. You’ve planned your outfit and are excited to try it on. You arrive at the store, only to find the changing rooms are up a flight of stairs with no ramp for your wheelchair. Frustrated and disappointed, you realise this isn’t the first time this has happened. You wanted to try on the outfit, but now you’re left to either buy it and hope for the best or abandon your plans and figure out a new option. The wasted time and effort make the experience even more disheartening.

This is where the charity Euan’s Guide comes in, transforming the shopping experience for disabled individuals by providing reliable accessibility information.

Empowering Through Shared Experiences

EuansGuide.com is an invaluable resource for planning your trips with confidence. It features real-life experiences shared by other disabled people, offering insights into the accessibility of various venues, from shops and restaurants to attractions, theatres and hotels – and so much more. 

On EuansGuide.com you can find detailed reviews and ratings about the accessibility of venues you plan to visit. These reviews cover aspects like the transport and parking, the general accessibility of the venue, toilets, and the helpfulness of staff. 

Imagine knowing in advance that a store has spacious changing rooms with grab rails and friendly assistants eager to help — turning a potentially stressful outing into a smooth and enjoyable experience. Yes, your outfit looks good on and you’re going to feel great at the event with your family and friends!

A Community of Support

Beyond just providing information, Euan’s Guide is about community. By sharing your own experiences, you contribute to a growing network of support and information. Your reviews can help others make informed decisions, just as you benefit from the shared experiences of fellow EuansGuide.com users.
