Hi Eleanor.

Have you visited the online today pages at www.rnib.org.uk/onlinetoday? You can also call the helpline on 03031239999 and speak to someone about the project and the events held in your area. There is a personal training element of Online Today yes, but it is mainly (as i understand it) focused workshops held throughout the UK. this is for training to help you get and or stay online with a variety of devices, including smartphones, tablets and computers.

All the best, Ibrahim.

well it has to be the best kept secret ever! I have never heard about it on the list, only I met this gentleman yesterday I still would know nothing about it. perhaps somebody from RNIB
could point us to a link on the website where we could read about it. I would also be interested to know the terms of the lottery fund and if only those who purchase a computer from RNIB can avail of this training.

Hi Hazel

My understanding is that as part of the lottery on line today grant, RNIB
are recruiting volunteers to help V I people learn how to use their
computers, smart phones etc in their own homes.
best wishes

Jackie all I wanted was to try an I phone to see if I would get on with
one but I was told I would have to buy any device from them to get the
training.

As far as I know, RNIB is offering help to anyone regardless of what
device
they have, as part of their £5m Online Today funding from the Big Lottery.
If this is not the case, or there is another scheme running that differs
from my information, then I am sure someone will put us right.

yes but that's crazy, because the person told me that it didn't matter
what
type of device so for instance an iPhone or an android phone.

I
am wondering if there are also trainers who are volunteers and teaching
voice over the mat.
