The 'Eye' Team?!

Technology can help blind and partially sighted people to live more independently, but sometimes setting it up can be challenging. Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has a Technology Support Squad, a free national service that can set up and help blind and partially sighted people use technology.

There are thousands of gadgets designed to make living with sight loss easier, but it's hard to know where to start once you get them home. If you're having trouble setting up or getting the most out of your technology, this Technology Support Squad is available to help.

RNIB have 1,000 volunteers across the UK ready to give advice over the phone or visit you at home. Call their Helpline on 0303 123 9999 or email helpline@rnib.org.uk for help with:

• getting to grips with a new computer or laptop
• setting up your internet
• getting the most out of your TV, such as installing a DVD player, setting up your Freeview box and helping you use audio description

 and much much more.
