Some news from our Access and Inclusion Director

As we reach high summer and people are thinking about going out and about exploring, maybe trying new things too, we want to bring some news of one of our own explorers. Paul, who many of you know through his support of Euan’s Guide or his exploits with Disabled Access Day, is off on a new adventure.

After ten years of reviewing, talking, and sharing his knowledge of the challenges of disabled access and working as our Access and Inclusion Director, Paul is stepping aside. With retirement beckoning, he’s decided to follow some of his dreams, visit more new places, and in his spare time he plans to write a book.

We asked him for his top three highlights from his time helping Euan and the team in creating the go-to disabled access website that has become a focal point for the disabled access community. He told us:

"Meeting Euan and discovering a kindred spirit in the campaign toward improving disabled access across the UK and beyond; getting the opportunity to sit in front of so many diverse and interesting audiences and simply tell the stories of day to day life as a disabled person; and achieving the dream of raising awareness of the importance of Changing Places Toilets, and seeing the first Changing Places Toilet installed in a Whisky Distillery in Scotland!"

We wish Paul well in his new adventures and look forward to hearing about his new discoveries - we're delighted to let you know that Paul will be joining us as a Euan’s Guide Ambassador.
