Talking newspaper provides news service to the blind
==================================================
Local newspapers have for years provided a very local news service for their readers. But there is a huge section of the community for whom reading a newspaper isn't an option.
For those who are blind or partially sighted, there is a UK network of over 500 talking newspapers.
One of them is Fareport Talking News. They send hundreds of copies of their audio edition every week.
And as BBC Radio Solent's Neil Sackley found out when he visited their recording studio, it's a totally free service

An invitation to local Community Groups .
In his introduction to the Fareport Talking News website Fred Dinenage, our Patron says..…’Have you ever thought how difficult it must be for people, who cannot read the printed word, to keep in touch with local news and events? Regional TV and radio stations provide a great service but they cover a very wide area.
Fareport Talking News, on the other hand, concentrates on matters of a purely local interest. The news, entertainment and information it contains is taken from the Portsmouth News, Southampton Echo and the Gosport Globe and is of immediate relevance to the blind and visually impaired in the Fareham, Whiteley, Gosport, Locks Heath, Wickham and Portchester areas’.
Fareport Talking News, one of more than five hundred talking newspapers in the UK, has just celebrated its 21st anniversary, publishing its 1000th edition just before Christmas. Recorded weekly on memory stick at the purpose built studio in Stubbington it is delivered directly to your door by the postal service AND IT IS COMPLETELY FREE.
Fareport Talking News is a self-funding charity relying entirely on the generosity of volunteers, the public and its own fund raising events. Therefore donations, towards the costs of maintaining this worthwhile service to an increasing listener base, are needed and will be most welcome.
Running expenses are in the region of £4500 a year and all the money raised is channelled directly into the production of the weekly edition and the maintenance of the recording equipment so if you have any fund raising events in your calendar you may like to consider Fareport Talking News as one of your charities.
Should you be planning to hold a function or event of interest to the blind and visually impaired, please notify Fareport Talking News and we will be pleased to publicise it in our weekly edition.
Fareport Talking News will also be delighted to provide speakers, to present details of the organisation, at any forthcoming community events. Also if you know of anyone who is blind or visually impaired and who would benefit from receiving the weekly memory stick please tell them about us.
To contact Fareport Talking News please telephone the recording studio on 01329 664364, leave a message on the answer machine and we will get back to you as soon as possible, or you can e.mail: info@talkingnews-fareport.org.uk
