Do you love museums and heritage? Do you care about accessibility? Join a team of 50 volunteer access researchers in a large-scale digital volunteering project that will benefit over 3,000 heritage sites in the UK and their visitors. You will be helping experts from arts and heritage disability access organisations in an important project that will check the online accessibility information of over 3,000 heritage sites in the UK and then share the research with the museums and heritage sites on how they can improve their access information and support deaf, disabled and neurodivergent visitors. Each volunteer will be given a list of heritage sites, and you just need to be comfortable finding and navigating their websites and entering data about them into an online form (mostly through multiple choice options). To find out more and to register interest before 9am Monday 14 March 2022 please go to this link below: https://vocaleyes.co.uk/volunteer-opportunity-heritage-access-2022/
