Digitial Inclusion

Making Technology Work for You

Technology is changing the way we live — and at Sight Cymru, we believe no one should be left behind.

Our Digital Inclusion service supports people with sight loss to make the most of today’s technology, no matter your starting point. Whether you’re completely new to tech or already confident but curious about what’s next, we’re here to help you stay connected, independent, and in control.

Tech That Fits Your Life

Living with a visual impairment often means doing things a little differently — and that’s where assistive technology comes in. We can teach you how to:

  • Stay in touch with family and friends

  • Do your grocery shopping online

  • Use voice assistants to manage your day

  • Access news, entertainment, books, or even work from home

  • Learn new skills and boost confidence using digital tools

From simple gadgets to smart devices, we’ll help you find what works best for you.

What We Support With

Our Digital Inclusion Officers offer guidance and training with:

  • Smartphones, tablets, and accessible apps

  • Laptops, PCs, and screen-reading software

  • Smart speakers, smart TVs, and radios

  • Tech for the home, including magnifiers, talking clocks, and more

  • Practical advice and one-to-one support

  • Tuition payments (where needed) for training or learning new devices

Support is offered at your pace, in person or remotely — and always tailored to your needs.
