| Recipient Org: Description | Main activities: Euan?s Guide is the award-winning Scottish charity that exists to reduce the social isolation and improve the wellbeing of disabled people and their carers. We share information on disabled access, make accessible toilets safer, provide on-line and social channels giving disabled people a voice, hold Meet Ups and ultimately make it safer, easier and more rewarding for disabled people to find and visit new places. By supporting our community, we address the disadvantage disabled people experience when it comes to their wellbeing, participation and social isolation. At the heart of the charity is our disabled access review website www.euansguide.com the go-to online resource written by and for disabled people where people can find and share information about disabled access. We also deliver award winning projects and activities including: ? The Red LifeLine Project, a lifesaving project to make accessible toilets safer. Over 50,000 Red Cord Cards have been distributed. ? Disabled Access Day, an event to encourage disabled people and their families and friends to try somewhere new. Over 13,000 people took part in 2019. ? The Ambassador Network; supporting volunteers to share their experience of Euan?s Guide ? The Access Survey ? the UK?s biggest and longest running survey. 2019 saw over 900 people share their thoughts on disabled access. ? Scotland?s Accessibility Highlights ? a series of guides in conjunction with VisitScotland highlighting some of Scotland?s Accessible locations, places and spaces. We are registered with OSCR, governed by five Trustees are rely entirely on voluntary income to deliver our services. COVID-19 has had a disproportionately negative impact on disabled people. The majority of our community are in the high-risk and shielding groups and have found themselves having to isolate for a lengthy period. Their usual care and support have been eroded by the virus threat and the need for protection has changed service delivery. Many of our community had to make difficult choices about who they lived with and who they could let into their home. The easing of lockdown only brought with it fear and confusion and as restrictions increase rapidly again, and often at a localised level, life is as restricted and isolating, for most disabled people, as at the start of the pandemic. Pre-COVID, we delivered in-person events where disabled people could meet, network and support each other and we provided peer-to-peer advice and guidance, in a safe and supportive environment. COVID has meant that our community, many of whom are in the shielded groups, have been unable to meet in person. We rapidly moved meetings and events on-line to help reduce disabled people's social isolation. Digital inclusion and participation had been on our radar for some time, so we fast tracked this strategy and delivery. We have pivoted to deliver activity to meet the new needs of our community whilst still keeping our core activities going. Our new and additional services we now provide as a direct result of COVID-19 include ? Digital delivery of our services through virtual events, socials and meet-ups to ensure we can continue to reduce the social isolation of disabled people and their carers ? A stand-alone forum so disabled people can connect and share information away from the noise of social media, some of which has been disproportionately negative towards disabled people ? "Voices of COVID" blog to give disabled people a platform to have their voices and concerns heard during the pandemic ? COVID information on our website: Our community told us fear their needs would not be met and a lack of COVID precautions at venues was stopping them going out when restrictions were eased. We developed and launched the ?COVID Confident? functionality on euansguide.com enabling disabled people to know what COVID precautions venues have implemented before they visit. We know this functionality is popular and will help to ease our community back into society as restrictions are gradually lifted ? We ran an online survey to share our community?s concerns for the post lockdown world and the precautions they want businesses to take. We will run this again as lockdown eases ? Partnership working to reach more disabled people isolated because of COVID-19 - for example we are now working with Ainsley Hospital to provide access information to disabled people being released from the hospital Our teams flexible working means we can be there for our community when they need us, for example, running virtual events and support in the evenings and weekends. |
