PEOPLE in Leigh with sight loss are being invited to attend a free online skills session being held in Leigh on Tuesday.
The session is part of the national Royal National Institute for the Blind's Online Today project, for those with sight loss.
The online basic skills session, which is being organised by partner body Action for Blind People, is being held at the Turnpike Centre, Civic Square from 1.30pm and 3.30pm.
The session will be hands-on, including interactive demonstrations of how to get the most from products such as tablets, smartphones and eReaders.
Andrew Coleman, technology coordinator at Action for Blind People, said: "Access to the internet and technology can open up a whole new world for people, but knowing where to start isn't always easy if you've got sight or hearing problems.
"Our Online Today sessions are the perfect introduction, providing the basic skills and confidence to get online and explore all that is on offer.
"If you're living with sight loss and are keen to take your first steps in using technology, sign up for the session on 13 December and find out the difference getting online could make to you."
