Access Keys
Navigation links are grouped, with "invisible" links to skip to content provided. Important navigation links have shortcut keys to enable quick access.
A few key links throughout the site can be accessed using your keyboard, as well as your mouse.
You access these options by pressing the 'Alt' key and the number or letter for that option (below). Depending on your browser, you may then need to press the 'Enter' key. Please note that this feature does not work in all browsers (e.g. Camino on Apple OSX). On a Macintosh Computer use the 'Ctrl + Alt' key instead of the 'Alt' key.
If you are not sure which number or letter to use, the alt tag for that option will also remind you.
The access keys we have created for your convenience are as follows:
- Access key H (Alt+H for Windows) will select the Home link
- Access key W (Alt+W for Windows) will select the What we do link
- Access key G (Alt+G for Windows) will select the Grants link
