Have you seen our new, improved website?

We’ve had a complete overhaul of our website so that it reflects the wide range of work that we carry out across the organisation. From energy costs and billing right through to self-funded retrofit and professional referrals advice, we’ve got a website that’s fit for purpose.

And that even extends to users who may otherwise struggle with online content.

As part of our diversity and inclusion strategy,website visitors are now able to access a wide range of accessibility and language support tools to customise their digital experience through Recite Me assistive technology.

‍

Being able to offer an online inclusive experience is essential to support over 25% of the population who may encounter barriers when exploring our website due to having a disability, learning difficulty, visual impairment, or if they speak English as a second language. 

The Recite Me assistive toolbar on our website includes screen reading functionality, multiple reading aids, customisable styling options and an on-demand live translation feature that boasts over 100 languages including 65 text-to-speech and styling options.

Our CEO, Rachel Jones said: “Accessibility is extremely important to us. We are committed to ensuring all customers can access information and services in a way that best meets their individual needs. "Diversity and Inclusion are at the forefront of our business”, so we are incredibly proud to be able to provide Recite Me’s innovative assistive technology across our website.”

The internet can be an incredibly intimidating place for those with access barriers, and those lacking the tools they need to adequately understand or communicate are at a significant disadvantage.
