Yews Talking Newspaper provides local news and information in audio format every week for those living in and around Mid Sussex who can’t access the printed word. It is available in a variety of ways such as online using an APP or Alexa, or by post for those who qualify.
The weekly recording includes extracts from the Mid-Sussex Times and other publications, together with useful local information and items of general interest. Preparation and distribution of the recording is all done by volunteers, and is completely free, as is any postage to visually-impaired recipients.
The recording is available in a number of ways:
- For listeners without internet access, USB memory sticks containing the recording are created and posted each week, on Friday morning. These are used in a simple player, which can be supplied free of charge.
- Using an Alexa enabled device, which we can supply free of charge.
- Directly from the British Wireless for the Blind website, using a standard web browser.
You can use this website to find out about receiving the Talking News, referring a friend, relative or client to us, or volunteering with us.
