Accessibility Statement for www.greenallotments.org.uk
Introduction
This website is run by Green Allotments CIO, Registered Charity number 1200535.
We aim for as many people as possible to use this website.
We are a small charity with one staff member, we test the website every quarter to check accessibility. The person responsible for the website and updates has attended a training course “Making your website accessible” delivered by Voluntary Organisations Directory Agency (VODA, North Tyneside). All updates to the website are pre-checked for accessibility before being uploaded. We are aiming to achieve Website Accessibility Guidelines to level AA and plan to do so by end of 2025.

Testing
The website’s accessibility was tested in March 2025 by a specialist, who also provided bespoke advice on improvements. We have followed this advice. For example, we have inserted Alt Text on our images and graphics; used black on white font colour on our small text because our brand colour green #62912f is inaccessible at small text size; inserted more headings on our webpages to enable navigation without a mouse.
Non-compliance
Where the website does not comply: Contrast colours green/white on the Top Header Menu Buttons, we are working to make this accessible.
