Accessibility
This accessibility statement applies to the Youth Zone website.
This website is run by Burgess Hill Town Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

· navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
· navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
· listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We’ve also 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.
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
· you cannot modify the line height or spacing of text
