Volunteer Now believes it is vital that everyone should be able to get the best out of our website, even if they are not a technical expert, or have any physical reason why using the internet can be challenge. We have designed our website to be as accessible as possible in accordance with guidelines laid down by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), and will continue to make changes over time.
Improving our website
We support the WAI initiative to encourage website users to contact us if they feel improvements could be made to its accessibility. Further information about this can be found on the WAI website here http://www.w3.org/WAI/users/inaccessible and Volunteer Now can be contacted here.
