Sheffield Talking News (S.T.N.) is a small registered charity (No 1001700) which
produces each week over 500 audio cassettes and 100 CDs of local news for anyone
who is blind, visually impaired or unable to read a newspaper through
disability. Arrangements with both the Sheffield Star and Telegraph and
the Yorkshire Post allow us to include the content of their publications
without infringement of copyright - we are most grateful for this
concession. An occasional magazine is also produced throughout the year.
There is no charge for the service which is delivered by
Royal Mail free of charge. |
| |
| STN also produces audio tapes and CDs
for other local organisations including the Sheffield Royal Society for
the Blind (SRSB)
newsletter; South Yorkshire Funding Advice Bureau (SYFAB)
Funding News; Sheffield Homes In Touch magazines; Sheffield Care Trust;
Sheffield City Council (various departments). Income from this work helps
subsidise other costs and along with a wide number of individual
donations allows STN to continue to provide its service at no cost to
its listeners. To find out more about this click on the [Other

At Last - We have received the
Memory Stick Copiers and Players and of course the Memory Sticks!
We have issued the
Forty five Players with the current news on memory sticks.
The first report back, from Trevor Clark, said "The recording on the memory stick was spot on and it all worked perfectly and he is happy to have his weekly news on memory stick instead of CD .
All the latest reports are very supportive and everyone wishes to
continue with Memory Sticks |
