A graphic design of the new Euan's Guide branding with text reading New Look. Same Purpose. Thank you for being part of the journey.

Today would have been Euan’s 51st birthday 💛

Later this summer, Euan’s Guide will have a gentle refresh - a welcoming, clear and accessible new look. Our new logo features Euan’s handwriting, a lasting tribute to the man who started it all. buff.ly/kFIVyoM

A white, non-binary person with short curly hair and round gold glasses smiles at the camera. They’re wearing pink dungarees and a yellow shirt. They are sitting in front of a teal wall with the Euan’s Guide logo.

Meet our new Review Coordinator, Pat!

Pat says, "When I became disabled, I missed doing the things I enjoyed. Getting back out there and travelling improved my quality of life, and I’m excited to share information that helps others do the same."

Please give them a warm welcome!
