sensory loss benefit from the internet. Blind and partially sighted
people in Sefton and West Lancs are invited to attend a Technology Awareness
Open Day to see how they can sign up for a free online basic skills session
to help them get online and benefit from technology.
Partner organisation Galloways Society for the Blind is opening its doors to
demonstrate a range of technology, including laptops, tablets and
smartphones, as well as encouraging people to attend one of a series of free
online basic skills sessions taking place over the coming months.
The open day takes place at Galloways Society for the Blind, 22 Wright

to get 125,000 people with sensory loss online.
