Support to get the most out of your technology

Technology can open up new ways to stay in touch, shop online, get around and enjoy your favourite activities. But if you’re not sure where to start, Vista’s Tech Together service is here to help.

Tech Together is a volunteer-led service that supports people with sight loss or dual sensory loss to build confidence using digital devices. Our volunteers offer friendly, one-to-one support at home or in the community.

We’ll match you with someone based on your needs and their experience, so the support feels personal and practical.

How we can help

Our team can support you with:

Setting up and using smartphones, tablets or laptops
Turning on and adjusting accessibility settings
Learning how to use video calling to stay in touch with family and friends
Downloading apps that help with navigation, reading or daily tasks
Using electronic aids that can make everyday life easier

Whether you’re just getting started or want to build your digital skills further, we’ll take it at your pace.

Find our next session here.

Who can use this service?

You can access Tech Together if:

You are over 18 (for under 18s, access our Children and Young Persons Services here [link]
You have a significant sight loss (and are under a consultant ophthalmologist, or registered as sight impaired or severely sight impaired)
You have access to your own equipment or daily living aids

If you’re not sure whether you meet the criteria, get in touch and we’ll talk it through.

Get involved

We’re also looking for new Tech Together volunteers to join the team. If you're confident with digital devices and want to make a difference in someone’s life, we’d love to hear from you.
