Digital Accessibility Partnership Programme for Mission-Driven Organisations

It's a collaborative initiative where we provide accessibility expertise, technical support, and training to help mission-driven organisations create inclusive digital experiences. Think of it as a bridge between technical accessibility requirements and meaningful community impact.

Digital accessibility should be available to all organisations, regardless of resources. But we know some organisations genuinely have limited resources. This programme helps create a more inclusive digital world while building capacity within community organisations.

Each partnership includes:

• Comprehensive accessibility audit
• Implementation guidance and support
• Team training and workshops
• Documentation and resources
• Regular check-ins and progress reviews
• Impact measurement tools

A: The core programme runs for 3 months, allowing time for implementation and measuring impact. Extended support options are available based on project needs and resources available.

Absolutely! We welcome organisations at any stage of their accessibility journey. What matters most is the commitment to creating lasting change.

Plan for approximately 4-6 hours per week, including implementation work, training sessions, and check-ins. This helps ensure meaningful progress and impact.

No technical expertise is required. We provide training and support tailored to your team's current knowledge level. But if you have someone with technical knowledge, it is an added bonus.

You'll have documentation, trained team members, and resources to maintain accessibility standards. We also provide a 30-day post-programme support period.

Yes, we provide targeted support for specific challenges while building your team's overall accessibility capabilities.

We have a dedicated post about the business case for accessibility which will outline how it can impact your non-profit organisation too.

Successful partnerships create ripples of positive change. While optional, there are several ways to amplify your impact:

• Share your accessibility transformation story to inspire others, online and offline
• Document and publish key milestones and learnings
• Participate in case studies that demonstrate real-world impact
• Connect with other organisations on similar journeys

These activities typically require minimal time investment but create lasting value for the broader accessibility movement. Many partners find this aspect particularly rewarding as it helps other organisations navigate their own accessibility journeys.
