In memoriam – Euan MacDonald MBE

Euan MacDonald MBE, ground-breaking social philanthropist and entrepreneur

We were saddened to hear of Euan MacDonald’s death last week. A powerful and impactful advocate, Euan was recognised in the Disability Power 100 2018-2022.

Euan’s friends and colleagues have written how he was the driving force behind Euan’s Guide, and an inspiration to many, leading the way as an altruistic and selfless philanthropist and social entrepreneur.

His aspiration to create accurate information about disabled access, accessible toilets or find an accessible hotel room meant that millions of disabled people using Euan’s Guide could quickly, reliably and easily plan trips, experiences and events.

This year once again Euan’s work was recognised by the Disability Power 100 judges as impactful, influential and innovative.

On behalf of Shaw Trust Disability Power 100 we send our condolences to Euan’s friends, family and colleagues.
