147: What does digital accessibility mean for charities?
About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of digital accessibility for charities and features a panel of experts sharing insights and advice.
When websites and other elements of the digital world are poorly designed, people with disabilities experience significant barriers, causing frustration and getting in the way of independent daily life. According to the Charity Digital Skills Report 2023 , 58% of charities say their products and services are accessible to some extent, while 53% feel they are monitoring accessibility and diversity of users effectively. As a sector, we can do better. In this podcast, recorded at Charity Digital's Digital Inclusion Summit in June 2024, we are joined by a panel of experts to share advice and learnings to help the charity sector improve its digital accessibility.
