Some Kind Words About Our Services

“I have good links with Vision Support and have attended social groups; it was at one of these that I realised the benefits of smart phones and tablets and now feel that an iPad would be invaluable to me, especially during these times of isolation. I have some computer experience as I used to use a computer before my sight loss and am aware of services and training that would enable me to fully appreciate what can be achieved using such a device.”
