Accessibility Statement

The Connie Club.png

Last updated: 28 July 2026

This accessibility statement applies to the Coalville Conny Club website.

Coalville Conny Club is committed to making its website accessible and welcoming to as many people as possible, including disabled people and people who use assistive technologies.

We want all visitors to be able to find information about the Club and use the website without unnecessary difficulty.

​

Our accessibility commitment

We aim to make this website accessible in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, known as WCAG 2.2, at Level AA wherever reasonably possible.

These guidelines explain how website content can be made more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including people with:

  • visual impairments;

  • hearing impairments;

  • mobility or dexterity impairments;

  • cognitive or learning disabilities;

  • speech impairments;

  • neurological conditions; and

  • multiple or temporary impairments.

​

We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing responsibility. We will continue to review the website and make reasonable improvements when accessibility issues are identified.

Using this website

We have designed and managed the website with the intention that visitors should be able to:

  • navigate the website using a keyboard;

  • use the website with a screen reader or other assistive technology;

  • zoom into pages without losing essential information;

  • view the website on desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices;

  • understand the website’s content and navigation;

  • identify links, buttons, headings and form fields;

  • access meaningful images through alternative text;

  • complete and submit the website contact form;

  • distinguish text from its background;

  • move through content in a logical order; and

  • use the website without relying solely on colour, sound or images.

​

Alternative text for images

Meaningful images on the website have been provided with alternative text, commonly known as alt text.

Alt text provides a written description of an image so that its meaning or purpose can be understood by people using screen readers or by visitors who cannot see the image.

​

We aim to ensure that:

  • informative images have an appropriate text description;

  • images that act as links or controls describe their function;

  • text contained within an image is also available as accessible text where necessary;

  • decorative images do not create unnecessary screen-reader announcements; and

  • new images are given appropriate alt text before or shortly after being published.

Alternative text is written to explain the purpose of an image in the context of the page, rather than simply listing everything visible in it.

​

Headings and page structure

We aim to use clear headings and a logical page structure throughout the website.

Headings are intended to help visitors understand how information is organised and allow screen-reader users to move between sections more easily.

We aim to ensure that:

  • each page has a clear main heading;

  • heading levels follow a logical order;

  • paragraphs are kept reasonably clear and readable;

  • lists are used where they improve understanding; and

  • important information is not communicated through visual appearance alone.

​

Keyboard navigation

We aim to make the website usable without a mouse.

Visitors should be able to use a keyboard to:

  • move between links, buttons and form fields;

  • access navigation menus;

  • operate interactive controls;

  • complete the contact form; and

  • activate links and buttons.

We aim to ensure that keyboard focus moves in a logical order and remains visible wherever the website design allows.

Some browser, device or third-party functionality may behave differently depending on the technology being used.

​

Screen-reader compatibility

The website has been built using Wix and is intended to support commonly used screen readers and assistive technologies.

We aim to provide:

  • meaningful page titles;

  • logical headings;

  • alternative text for meaningful images;

  • clearly labelled links and buttons;

  • labels or instructions for contact-form fields;

  • clear error information where available; and

  • a logical reading and navigation order.

The experience may vary depending on the browser, device, operating system and assistive technology being used.

​

Text size and zoom

Most modern browsers allow visitors to increase or decrease the size of text and page content.

Visitors should be able to zoom into the website using their browser or device controls. On many desktop browsers, this can be done by:

  • pressing Ctrl and + on Windows;

  • pressing Command and + on a Mac;

  • using the browser’s zoom controls; or

  • using pinch-to-zoom on a touchscreen device.

We aim to ensure that essential content remains available and understandable when the page is enlarged.

At very high zoom levels, some content may move into a single-column or mobile-style layout.

​

Colour and contrast

We aim to use colours that provide sufficient contrast between text and its background.

We also aim to ensure that:

  • information is not communicated using colour alone;

  • links and controls can be distinguished from surrounding content;

  • text remains readable against background colours and images; and

  • visible focus indicators can be seen when navigating by keyboard.

Colour and contrast may appear differently depending on a visitor’s device, screen settings or browser extensions.

​

Links and buttons

We aim to make links and buttons clear and understandable.

Where reasonably possible:

  • link text explains where the link will take the visitor;

  • buttons describe the action they perform;

  • the same wording is used consistently for similar actions;

  • links are visually distinguishable from surrounding text; and

  • visitors are warned where a link opens an external website or a different type of content when this is necessary for understanding.

​

Contact forms

The website’s contact form is provided through Wix.

We aim to ensure that:

  • each form field has a clear label or instruction;

  • required information is identified;

  • the form can be completed using a keyboard;

  • errors are identified clearly where the Wix platform supports this;

  • visitors are told when a form has been submitted successfully; and

  • unnecessary information is not requested.

Anyone who is unable to use the contact form can contact the Club by telephone or post using the details included in this statement.

​

Plain and understandable content

We aim to write website content in clear and straightforward language.

Where possible, we:

  • use familiar words;

  • avoid unnecessary technical language;

  • explain abbreviations;

  • use short paragraphs;

  • divide longer content using headings; and

  • present information in a logical order.

Some names, legal wording, event information or Club terminology may need to be presented in their original form.

​

Mobile and responsive access

The website is hosted and built using Wix and is designed to respond to different screen sizes.

We aim to ensure that the website can be used on:

  • desktop computers;

  • laptops;

  • tablets; and

  • mobile phones.

The appearance and arrangement of content may change depending on the screen size, device settings or orientation.

​

Videos, audio and other media

Where video or audio content is added to the website, we will aim to make it accessible by providing appropriate alternatives where reasonably possible.

Depending on the nature of the content, this may include:

  • captions;

  • transcripts;

  • audio descriptions;

  • written summaries; or

  • another accessible way to obtain the same essential information.

Older, third-party or social-media content may not always include all accessibility features.

​

Documents and downloadable content

Where documents are made available for download, we will aim to make them accessible where reasonably possible.

This may include:

  • using clear headings;

  • providing meaningful document titles;

  • using readable text;

  • adding alternative text to meaningful images;

  • using accessible tables; and

  • avoiding scanned-image documents where an accessible text version can be provided.

Some older or third-party documents may not be fully accessible. Anyone who needs information in another format can contact the Club.

​

Third-party content and services

Some parts of the website may rely on Wix or other third-party services, applications, embedded content or external websites.

This may include:

  • website hosting and navigation tools;

  • Wix Forms;

  • Wix Analytics;

  • cookie-consent controls;

  • maps;

  • social-media content;

  • videos;

  • event information; or

  • links to other organisations.

We may not have full control over the accessibility of third-party content or services. However, we will try to choose accessible options and provide an alternative where reasonably possible when we become aware of a problem.

The accessibility of an external website is the responsibility of the organisation that operates it.

​

Known accessibility limitations

We are continuing to review the website and cannot guarantee that every page, feature or item of third-party content will work perfectly with every combination of browser, device and assistive technology.

Possible limitations may include:

  • third-party content that is not fully accessible;

  • older downloadable documents;

  • embedded maps or social-media content;

  • some Wix functions or applications;

  • keyboard-focus behaviour controlled by the website platform;

  • browser-specific display differences; and

  • content added before the most recent accessibility review.

We will take reasonable steps to correct accessibility problems that are within our control when they are identified.

​

Technical information about accessibility

Coalville Conny Club is committed to making its website accessible.

The website aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 at Level AA. However, the website has not been independently audited or formally certified as fully conforming to every WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criterion.

The website should therefore not be treated as having a formal accessibility certification.

​

How we assess accessibility

Accessibility is reviewed through a combination of:

  • Wix accessibility tools;

  • manual checks;

  • reviewing image alternative text;

  • reviewing headings and page structure;

  • checking keyboard navigation;

  • checking forms and labels;

  • reviewing colour contrast;

  • viewing pages at different screen sizes; and

  • responding to accessibility feedback from visitors.

Automated accessibility tools can identify some problems, but they cannot identify every issue. Manual review and feedback from people using the website are also important.

​

Reporting an accessibility problem

Please contact us if you:

  • find an accessibility problem on this website;

  • cannot access information;

  • cannot use the contact form or another feature;

  • need information in a different format; or

  • have a suggestion about how accessibility could be improved.

​

When reporting a problem, it is helpful to provide:

  • the page or feature affected;

  • a description of what happened;

  • the device and browser you were using;

  • the assistive technology being used, where relevant; and

  • the format or assistance you require.

Telephone: 01530 836623

​

We will consider the issue and aim to provide a reasonable response or alternative way to access the information.

Alternative formats

You can contact us if you need information from this website in another format, such as:

  • large print;

  • an accessible digital document;

  • a simplified written explanation;

  • information provided over the telephone; or

  • another reasonable format.

​

We will consider each request and will try to provide an appropriate alternative where reasonably possible.

The time needed to provide an alternative may depend on the length, complexity and format of the information requested.

Enforcement and complaints

We would appreciate the opportunity to address any accessibility concern directly.

Please contact us by telephone or post if you are unhappy with the accessibility of the website or with our response to an accessibility request.

Depending on the circumstances, disabled people may also have rights under applicable UK equality legislation.

​

Ongoing improvements

We regard accessibility as an ongoing process rather than a one-time task.

When updating the website, we aim to:

  • add alternative text to new meaningful images;

  • maintain a logical heading structure;

  • use clear link and button descriptions;

  • check colour contrast;

  • review keyboard access;

  • make forms understandable;

  • consider accessibility when adding documents or media;

  • correct reported accessibility problems where reasonably possible; and

  • review this statement when the website changes significantly.

​

Preparation of this statement

This statement was prepared on 28 July 2026.

It will be reviewed periodically and updated when:

  • significant changes are made to the website;

  • new features or services are added;

  • an accessibility issue is identified;

  • accessibility testing is completed; or

  • relevant guidance or standards change.
