Accessibility Statement

Shakers Meetup is committed to providing an inclusive, respectful, and accessible experience for all members, participants, and visitors. We strive to ensure that our website, events, and community activities are welcoming and usable by people of all abilities.

What web accessibility means to us

Accessibility means creating environments—both online and in person—where everyone can participate with dignity, independence, and comfort. As a seniors-focused community, we recognize that accessibility supports connection, confidence, and continued engagement in social and cultural life.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We aim to make this website accessible and easy to use by:

  • Using clear language and readable layouts

  • Providing structured content and consistent navigation

  • Supporting screen readers and keyboard navigation where possible

  • Reviewing content regularly to improve clarity and accessibility

We continue to improve accessibility as part of our ongoing commitment.

Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content 

Some areas of this website, particularly within the member-only zone, may include third-party content such as embedded media, photos, or tools that are not fully under our control. As a result, full accessibility compliance for this content cannot always be guaranteed. We make reasonable efforts to select accessible platforms and to provide alternatives where possible.

Accessibility arrangements in the organization 

Shakers Meetup ensures that all in-person gatherings, meetings, and community events take place in spaces that are fully wheelchair accessible. Accessibility considerations are reviewed when selecting venues, and details are shared in advance through the membership area to support informed participation.

Members are encouraged to communicate any specific accessibility needs so reasonable accommodations can be considered wherever possible.

Requests, issues, and suggestions

If you find an accessibility issue on the site, or if you require further assistance, you are welcome to contact us through the organization's accessibility coordinator:
