Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to https://www.lochwinnochtrust.org.uk.

Lochwinnoch Community Development Trust is committed to making our digital content as accessible and inclusive as possible for all users, including people with disabilities. Our goal is to improve the usability of https://www.lochwinnochtrust.org.uk and ensure equal access for everyone, regardless of ability or the technology they use.

This website is run by Lochwinnoch Community Development Trust. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. This site uses the OneTap accessibility toolbar.

For example, that means you should be able to:

  • Adjust font size, font weight, line height, letter spacing, and align text to suit your reading preferences
  • Change colours and contrast using light contrast, high contrast, and monochrome (greyscale) modes
  • Adjust dark contrast for a more vivid or subdued visual experience
  • Switch to a more readable font for easier reading
  • Enlarge the cursor to make it easier to see on screen
  • Use a reading line and a reading mask to follow the text more easily
  • Underline all links and highlight key content so important elements stand out
  • Hide images for a less cluttered experience
  • Stop animation and moving content to reduce distraction
  • Skip directly to the main content without tabbing through every element
  • Navigate most of the site using only the keyboard

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We are committed to making our website usable by as many people as possible, including those with visual, motor, cognitive, or hearing impairments. We believe accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-time fix.

We use One Tap Accessibility plugin to improve assistive features.

We’re actively working to:

  • Evaluate our site against recognised standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
  • Improve our content structure- clear headings, descriptive link text, and alt text for images
  • Test with users and accessibility tools on an ongoing basis
  • Respond to feedback so we can address barriers as they’re identified

As our theme and accessibility plugin release new features, we’ll adopt them. If you encounter any accessibility issue on our site, please contact us at info@lochwinnochtrust.org.uk– we’ll do our best to help and keep improving.
