Kiki MacDonald recognised in King’s Honours List 2025 for her services to disabled people and the charity sector

We’re incredibly proud to announce that our co-founder, Kiki MacDonald, has been awarded an OBE in the King’s Honours List 2025 for her services to disabled people and the charity sector.

This incredible achievement highlights Kiki’s long-standing dedication to accessibility and inclusion through her work with Euan’s Guide, alongside her late brother Euan Macdonald MBE.

Kiki has been one of the driving forces behind Euan’s Guide and our award-winning disabled access review website. Co-founding the platform alongside Euan, who lived with Motor Neuron Disease for over twenty years, Kiki has played a pivotal role in building a trusted community resource that empowers disabled people to discover and share accessible places.

Kiki and Euan founded the charity after encountering repeated challenges in finding reliable, up-to-date information on disabled access. Like many others in similar situations, they found planning trips or holidays frustrating, time-consuming, and limiting because disabled access information was inaccurate or unavailable.

They realised that if such a resource didn’t exist, they needed to create one, driven by the belief that disabled people should be able to explore and enjoy the world with confidence. In 2013, from their kitchen table, EuansGuide.com was born and, over a decade later, now helps tens of thousands of disabled people.

Kiki said "I’m thrilled to receive this award which is a recognition of everyone behind Euan’s Guide: our incredible team, passionate reviewers, community of supporters and of course my family especially my dear brother, and co- founder Euan.

Even though Euan very sadly passed last year his legacy lives on through Euan’s Guide, Speak Unique and the Euan MacDonald Research Centre for MND. I know Euan would be proud of this award today which I dedicate to him.

Euan’s insight, tenacity and lust for life continues to inspire us to make the world more accessible for disabled people."
