More than half of the UK's leading membership organisations are failing on digital accessibility.
We analysed the Influence 100 — the UK's largest membership organisations. The majority aren't meeting basic accessibility standards. For them, that's a growing risk. For the organisations ready to lead, it's a clear opportunity. Our free 2025 whitepaper shows you the findings and a practical four-step plan.
What you'll learn
Digital accessibility isn't a niche, technical concern — it's a commercial one. Over 16 million people in the UK live with a disability, and how they experience your platform shapes whether they join, renew, and recommend you.
This report cuts through the noise. We share what our research into the UK's top 100 membership organisations actually found, what the wider evidence says, and — crucially — a clear, practical path to getting it right. It's written for senior leaders who want to turn a sector-wide gap into a competitive advantage.
