Accessibility
Accessible websites are those that can be visited by anyone, regardless of any disability they may have. And with over 10 million disabled people in the UK, we think it's important that websites are designed with accessibility in mind.
We've followed accessibility guidelines put together by the World Wide Web consortium. These guidelines advise on a range of elements, such as the use of colour, language, text size and proper labelling of images.
Using these guidelines, this site has achieved an 'AA' accessibility rating. To find out exactly what this means, you can read the complete World Wide Web consortium guidelines. (opens in new window). 
We’re always looking to improve the experience of our site visitors, so if you have any feedback, or spot something that we may have missed, then we’d love to hear about it and will do our best to address the problem as soon as possible.
If you have any queries with regards to accessibility please call 01442 868014. Alternatively, please email siteaccessibility@bourne-leisure.co.uk.
