Bangor Boccia Club is a club for people with disabilities, so we want everyone to be able to use this website easily, whatever device or assistive technology they use. This statement explains what we have done, what we know still needs work, and how to tell us if something is hard to use.
Our commitment
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at level AA. We are a small volunteer-run club, so we may not get everything right first time, but we will fix problems as quickly as we can when they are reported to us.
What we have done
We have designed the website so that you can:
- read it in plain English, with short sections and clear headings;
- use it with a keyboard, a switch or a screen reader, with a link to skip straight to the contact form;
- read our upcoming sessions and events as a simple list, a few at a time, with a button to show more;
- jump straight to the contact form, or back to the top, from a small bar that appears as you scroll down the page;
- open the Player of the Week photos and the events list from the keyboard, with the popup keeping your place until you close it;
- see clearly where you are on the page when moving around with a keyboard, on both light and dark backgrounds;
- zoom in to at least 400% without text or content being cut off, and use it on the smallest phone screens without scrolling sideways;
- use it comfortably on a phone or tablet, with large buttons that are easy to tap;
- turn off movement and animation by using the "reduce motion" setting on your device;
- read text and buttons that have strong colour contrast, and images that have text descriptions;
- find our email address and phone number in the same place at the bottom of every page.
What may be harder to use
- Our videos link to YouTube, which is a separate website. Captions are provided by the video owners, so their accuracy can vary.
- The Player of the Week image you can save or share is a picture, so its text cannot be read by a screen reader.
- The Boccia Game can be played with a keyboard as well as by touch, and a hidden status line announces whose turn it is and each end's score, but the court itself is a moving picture that a screen reader cannot follow.
Getting information another way
If anything on this website is hard for you to use, or you would prefer the information in another format such as large print, over the phone, or in person at a session, just ask. Email hello@bangorbocciaclub.co.uk or speak to any volunteer at a Thursday session.
Tell us about a problem
We would love to hear about anything that got in your way, no matter how small. Please tell us which page you were on, what you were trying to do, and what device or assistive technology you were using. We will reply as soon as we can and do our best to put it right.
About this statement
This statement was prepared on 14 September 2026 and last reviewed on 25 September 2026. It is based on our own checks of the website against every WCAG 2.2 level A and AA success criterion, including keyboard-only use, measured colour contrast, and checking how the content is labelled for screen readers. It has not yet been tested by someone who uses a screen reader day to day, and we would welcome that feedback. We will review it whenever we make significant changes to the site.
