The Hubb Foundation Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to https://www.thehubbfoundation.com/.

The goal of this website is to guarantee the accessibility of its content and services
for individuals with disabilities who require additional access support. Resources have
been dedicated to enhancing the website’s user-friendliness and accessibility, driven

and engage with digital content, equally.

Measures to support accessibility

This website takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:

• Include accessibility as part of our mission statement.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers
and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three
levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. This website aims to

Accessibility Efforts & Disclaimer

We remain dedicated to the ongoing enhancement of the accessibility of its
website and services. This commitment is rooted in the belief that ensuring a smooth,
inclusive, and unrestricted experience for individuals with disabilities is a shared
ethical responsibility.

We are always striving to enhance the accessibility of all pages and materials on our
website, it’s possible that some content has not yet been fully aligned with
accessibility standards. This could be attributed to the fact that we may not have
identified the most suitable fix to improve a user’s experience.

Recite Me Assistive Technology

We want as many people as possible to be able to use our website. To provide
additional support to aid a more inclusive user experience we provide the Recite Me
assistive technology tool. This Toolbar enables all website visitors to customise their
experience through a range of options to suit their online accessibility and language
needs.

The Recite Me toolbar provides text-to-speech functionality, fully customisable styling
features, reading aids and a translation tool with over 100 languages, including 65
text-to-speech voices and many other features.

This means that when the toolbar is activated by the user they can:

• Listen to the website using text-to-speech functionality
• Customise background, text and accessibility tool colours
• Modify the font, line height or spacing of text
• Zoom in up to 200% without text spilling off the screen
• The text will reflow in a single column when you change the size of your
browser window
