WAMES Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to www.wames.org.uk the Welsh Association of ME/CFS Support who value inclusion, equity, and accessibility for all.

We strive to make sure our website is accessible to everyone. For example, by using the little man in the lefthand corner, that means you should be able to:

  1. Change font and resize text
  2. Change spacing between lines and change whether you read on the left or right
  3. Change contrast, pause videos, hide images and read in black & white.
  4. Highlight links, change page structure and use a highlighted ruler to make things easier to read.

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

If you need any information in Welsh or an alternative format we will do our best to provide this, when health permits and if we have access to the necessary skills at the time.
