Our commitment to accessibility
We want everyone who visits our website to be able to access and understand the information we provide, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use.
Our website has been designed to work across desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices. We are committed to improving its accessibility and usability and to addressing any issues that may prevent visitors from accessing information or using its features.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and/or exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
We are working to ensure that the information and functionality on our website are accessible to all users.
The following accessibility issues have been identified:
- Colour contrast: Some buttons and text do not have sufficient colour contrast against their backgrounds, which may make them difficult for people with visual impairments to read.
- Screen reader compatibility: Some carousel controls and video links do not have appropriate labels for screen reader users, making it more difficult for them to understand or operate these features.
- PDF documents: Some PDF documents are not fully accessible to screen reader software, which may make it difficult for visually impaired users to access their contents.
- Third-party content: Some third-party content, including social media feeds, event listings and donation pages, may not fully meet accessibility requirements. We have limited control over the accessibility of content and functionality provided by external organisations.
If you experience difficulty accessing any information on our website, please contact us. We will do our best to provide the information in an accessible alternative format, such as large print or an accessible electronic document, wherever possible.

Some content may be exempt from the accessibility requirements under the applicable regulations. Any relevant exemptions will be identified here, where applicable.
