If you think a device will help you to be more independent or connect you with the community but are unsure about the options, Ruils are also running a ‘Try before you buy’ scheme which allows clients and unpaid carers to try items such as phones, laptops, tablets and smart speakers for a period of time, so you can see what works best for you. We will work with you to identify a device to suit your needs, assist you to set it up and to purchase your chosen equipment after the trial period.
