Accessibility
Learn about the accessibility practices used across this website and how to ask for assistance or report a barrier.
Our commitment
The Friends want visitors to be able to understand and use this website across a range of abilities, devices, browsers, and assistive technologies. We consider accessibility as public content and features are maintained.
Keyboard access
Navigation, links, buttons, forms, and menus are designed to be usable without a mouse. Visible focus indicators help show where you are on the page as you move with the Tab key.
Text and contrast
The site uses readable type, spacing, and color contrast intended to keep essential information legible. Information is not communicated by color alone.
Images and media
Meaningful images use text alternatives where appropriate. Decorative images are kept out of the reading experience so they do not add unnecessary detail for assistive technology users.
Reflow and zoom
Layouts are designed to reflow across small screens and when browser zoom or text size is increased. Content should remain readable without requiring horizontal scrolling at common mobile widths.
Ongoing improvement
Accessibility work is ongoing. As pages, services, and third-party tools change, we review reported barriers and prioritize practical improvements to the public experience.
Report a problem or request help
If you encounter a barrier or need help accessing information, please use the contact form. Include the page address, what you were trying to do, and any assistive technology or browser details you are comfortable sharing. The Friends will review the request and work with you on an accessible way to receive the information.
