Digital Inclusion Service

The Digital Inclusion service provides support and training for people with visual impairment in the boroughs in which we operate.  You may already have computer systems in place, and just need further support, or you may know nothing as yet about how to join the online world.  

You may want to learn how to use the talkback facilities on your mobile phone, or how to make use of AI apps for people with visual impairment. You may want to learn to touch type, to email, to search the internet, or to do online shopping or banking. You may have Alexa or Siri installed in your home, but not know how best to make use of this technology. If you don’t yet have a device, we can help you to choose whether a mobile phone, an iPad, a tablet or a computer will best suit your needs.

Whatever your need, we will strive to help you.

If you would like to make use of the service, please phone us on 020 8423 5141 and our IT trainer will phone you for an initial assessment.  Once he has a sense of how best to help you, he will visit you in your home to give you the training and support that you need.

The training is free of charge for people who have visual impairment, and on average we give people 3-4 lessons, although some people may need more or less.

 “The IT training has been absolutely brilliant in so many ways.  I started losing sight over 30 years ago, and today I am practically blind.  I need to learn many things now, especially with modern technology. I didn’t used to be able to read anything at all, but now with the training I am able to read the news, and search on the internet for many things.” Dr Fernando
