A Web for All: Free Webinar on Making Your Website Accessible

If your website isn’t accessible, you could be unintentionally shutting people out.

Accessibility isn’t just a technical requirement – it’s about making sure everyone can use and benefit from your website, including people with disabilities, older users, and those accessing services in different ways.

To help organisations take practical steps towards more inclusive digital spaces, Few and Far® are hosting a free webinar: “A Web for All.” on Wednesday 11th March 2026 at 11am.

What the webinar will cover

This two-hour session focuses on simple, practical ways to improve the accessibility and usability of your website. Rather than theory or jargon, the webinar will provide clear guidance and tools that you can start using straight away.

Topics will include:

  • Practical steps to improve website accessibility

  • Common barriers that prevent people from using websites

  • Tools and techniques to help you assess and improve your site

  • Realistic changes you can make without needing major redevelopment

Who should attend?

This webinar is ideal for:

  • Organisations responsible for managing a website

  • Communications and marketing teams

  • Community groups and charities

  • Anyone interested in making their online services more inclusive

CanalAbility Orders New Electric Boat to Expand Accessible Boating in Essex and Hertfordshire

Essex-based charity CanalAbility has reached a major milestone in its mission to make the waterways more inclusive.
Thanks to the incredible support of volunteers, donors, and the National Lottery Community Fund, the charity has now placed an order for a brand new fully-electric, specially adapted and accessible canal boat.
The new boat will allow CanalAbility to offer more trips to people with disabilities, long-term health conditions, and those facing social isolation — all while reducing the charity’s environmental impact.
But the journey doesn’t stop here. CanalAbility is now appealing for further support from the local community, businesses, and funders to help equip the boat and sustain its long-term impact.
“This new electric boat will offer a quieter, cleaner experience for our clients, giving more people the opportunity to enjoy the peace and beauty of the waterways in an accessible and inclusive way. It will allow us to run more trips for those who need them most while helping us reduce our carbon footprint and champion the benefits of green technology.”
