Activities

Each week, a team of readers records the Hexham Courant, Tynedale's local newspaper, for distribution to blind and partially sighted people, and to other disabled people unable to read a printed newspaper. Recordings are copied onto memory sticks, and posted on Friday evenings. Listeners return the sticks to be re-used for the following week's recording. We normally have around 100 listeners.

Objects: The Object Of The Association Is To Relieve The Blind, Or The Partially-Sighted, Or Those Labouring Under Some Temporary Or Permanent Incapacity Or Disability Which Makes Reading A Strain, By The Provision Of Recorded Media Or Tactile Reading Matter To Residents Of Tynedale And The Wider Community.
