Tech for All

May 18, 2024

Thanks to The Big Lottery Awards For All funding scheme, LVS has been awarded a grant to fund an exciting new project.  Simply called ‘Tech For All’, this is a partnership project working alongside Carlisle Sight Support. We are offering drop in sessions every Wednesday and Friday morning from 10:15 up until lunchtime at Carlisle Sight Support and also on a Tuesday morning from 10 am to 11.30 at Cornerstone Community Hub on Denton Street, Carlisle.

Ideally, you should contact myself or the centre first to book a place but, no one is ever turned away!  Our partnership collaboration allows us to provide a comprehensive array of advice, consultation, demonstration and awareness of an ever-increasing range of technology products.  Macular Degeneration is such a prevalent condition amongst those of an older generation and, one that poses a lot of worry and concern, not only to those with the condition but also to their friends and family.  We can provide support and guidance to all involved through this exciting and highly beneficial project.  This though is only one aspect of how this project can help so many people.  In the greatest number of cases, it is simply the fear of the unknown that poses the highest amount of worry, concern and uncertainty.  Allow us to help guide you through this minefield of information overload and simply the unknown.

I’m no longer able to read my paper.  I can’t use my computer to send my Daughter an email or I can’t see my photo’s anymore.  I can’t call my son on my phone anymore because I can’t read the screen or lastly, I miss reading my paperbacks before going to bed.  Any of these questions sound familiar?  Please please, do not hesitate, just call now and come in for a visit.

Remember, the times outlined below are when you can come to see us.
