Need extra support?
Sometimes we all need extra help to get something done – that’s why we're here to support you when you need it most.
We know that help can mean different things to different people, so we offer help to everyone individually.
Let us know what help you need and with your consent we’ll add this information to your account, making sure it’s set up in a way that suits you best. It means we’ll know for next time if you need to contact us again, so we can help you manage your savings based on your needs.
How to let us know
All you need to do is call or write to us and let us know you need extra support.
Call us free from the UK on 08085 007 007
Or from outside the UK on +44 1772 329880
Write to us at NS&I, Sunderland SR43 2SB
We also support a free Text Relay Service: just dial 18001 from your textphone and then enter the phone number you want to call. A Text Relay operator will join the call and help to translate text-to-speech and speech-to-text.
If you’re not registered for our online and phone service, get in touch and we can discuss how best to support you.
If you have any specific needs – for example, if you’d like large print letters and brochures – let us know. You don’t have to tell us everything if you don’t want to, so long as we have enough information to help.
How we can help
If you need us to change how we communicate with you, we offer various options including:
- Documents in an accessible font
- Large print documents
- Documents in Braille
- Documents in audio CD
- Documents that can support screen-reading software
Resources for digital skills
AbilityNet is a UK charity that offers free online courses and step by step guides on how to adapt your computer, phone or tablet to meet your needs. Their online resource ‘My Computer My Way’ can make it easier for you to use your devices.
The National Careers Service also offers free, self-paced online courses for Computer Essentials.
Learn My Way can help you gain digital skills for daily life, including how to use a computer, the internet, send emails and access online shopping and banking.
Finding a library in your local area is another way to explore learning resources for digital skills. Many libraries will have access to computers with free online courses.
