## Activities

**Activities:** &#x27;It carries out activities or services itself&#x27;

**Purposes:** &#x27;the promotion of equality and diversity&#x27;,&#x27;the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage&#x27;

**What the charity does:** We are here to provide audio presentation of local news features to those who for any reason are unable to read printed material.  Groups of volunteers edit and record the news on a weekly basis from 2 locations in the borders.  The results are then put on to memory sticks and sent out to an average of 200 people to use on players that we provide.  It is also available from our website or by App using mobile phones, iPads and Smart Speakers although at this stage no data as to the usage is available to us.   We include notices from such as the RNIB and Social Care Alliance Scotland and regularly add magazine style features or quizzes.
