August 2021 Update
Hello from all the team at TripleTapTech. We are wishing everyone an fantastic August. The team at TripleTapTech are continuing to provide our remote services below, but we are also starting to plan our face-to-face services for when it is safe to do so. We are very interested in your thoughts on what services you would like us to do and what groups you would like us to host. Everything from Visually impaired Gaming to Gardening and from Cake, Coffee and Chat to Accessible tech. It is especially important to remember that we are here for you and if you need some advice or someone to help fix any issues you might be having with your device or even just to talk to, we are just at the end of the phone. Unfortunately, due to the continuing Covid 19 Lockdown Restrictions we are still unable to provide face to face services such as one to one training and tech try outs from our office. This is something that we as a team a greatly missing. However, we are continuing to provide our remote services through phone calls and digital media.
