This site is built for you, however you are today.
Some days you want everything loud. Some days you want a lot less. We built the site to move with you. Change anything below and we’ll remember it next time you visit.
The baseline we won’t skip.
Standard stuff, done properly. None of this is a feature — it’s just the floor we start from.
- Works with a keyboard alone — every button, every link, every form.
- Tested with VoiceOver and NVDA screen readers on every release.
- Text scales to 200% without breaking the layout.
- No flashing or strobing patterns, ever.
- Respects your OS preference for reduced motion.
- Captions on every video we publish.
- Colour contrast passes WCAG AA (and AAA where we can).
- No hidden time limits on forms.
Every meetup, with the sensory info you actually need.
Noise level. Crowd size. Whether there’s a quiet room. Step-free access. Walking directions from the nearest station. A photo of the door so you know the place when you see it. Coming with our next release.
Need something specific?
BSL interpreter, large-print handouts, a quiet corner at a specific meetup, support bringing a friend along — whatever it is, we’d rather you tell us than not come.
Replies within 48 hours from a real human on the Mandem team.

What’s live, what’s still on the list.
We’d rather be honest about it. If you notice something we’ve missed, it probably isn’t intentional — please tell us.
