Useful resources for wish families
We're often asked for help and information on other support charities – and sometimes we need our wish families to obtain official documents to assist us in granting their wish.
Please see the list below for links to useful websites and other charities.
Euan's Guide
Euan's Guide makes it easier for disabled people to find great places to go. It is a site where disabled people, their family, friends and carers can find and share reviews on the accessibility of venues around the UK and beyond. Reviews are also sent to venue owners and this can be a positive and powerful opportunity for education and change. Euan's guide hopes to give everyone the freedom to explore.
