An online group to help blind and partially sighted people in Northern Ireland learn about technology was set up in early 2021 and has grown massively since then.

The VIP Tech Bus is one of several groups that offer everything from discussions on faith to chats about favourite audiobooks.

It was set up in response to the pandemic and has users joining on WhatsApp and Zoom from all around the world.

Sharon and Brian set up the group and joined Steven Scott on the podcast to tell him all about it.

If you’d like to get involved email [email protected]. You can also contact Sharon Neill directly on her mobile 07780503958 or Brian McDonagh on his mobile 07514084688.

Are you running a local group helping people learn about technology and want to share it with Blind Guy Talks Tech? Get in touch by emailing [email protected] or leave us a voicemail on .

About the Author
I am an absolute geek who loves technology. I also happen to be severely sight impaired and that has meant my journey with new technology has been challenging. What I've learnt is what I want to share with others and I do that on my weekly radio show and podcast for AMI-audio called Double Tap Canada, as well as my weekly role on Double Tap TV for AMI-tv. I'm also a very lucky husband and the owner of the world's coolest dog!
