Action for Family Carers is a Registered Charity that seeks to make a positive difference to the lives of the whole community of Carers and Young Carers across Essex. We are committed to making our websites accessible for people with disabilities.

This Accessibility Statement covers our main website https://affc.org.uk/ and our associated site https://essexbefriends.org.uk/.

  • We want as many people as possible to be able to use these websites. For example:
  • You can use the browser to zoom up to 300% and the content increases in size.

Online forms can be navigated by keyboard.

  • You can magnify the map on our ‘contact us’ page up to 500%
  •  We’ve made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
