Newspaper on a Tape

FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED AND DISABLED PEOPLE WHO FIND READING A STRAIN.

We produce, each week, a ninety minute digest of local news and information, on a normal audio cassette tape. The news items are mainly from “ The Westmorland Gazette,”( by kind permission of the publishers ).

The tape is produced by an enthusiastic team who have achieved success in a national competition for U.K. talking newspapers.

Side One:
45 minutes of news, information and notices relevant to this region.

Side Two:
a Magazine Section containing items of a general nature dealing with Cumbria and surrounding areas.

You are eligible to receive the tape if you are registered blind or partially sighted.
You are also eligible if not so registered but certified by an optician as being unable to read N.12 print.
For these people the service is FREE.

Anyone who is suffering from a temporary or permanent disability which makes reading a strain can also receive the cassette, subject to a simple medical certificate.
For these people a small postage charge must be paid (a 1st class letter stamp) to return the cassette after listening to the contents.
