| About STN |
|
|
| 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.

| We are always looking for people willing to help us to assist others keep in touch with local events that they might otherwise remain unaware of. There is always a ready welcome available to new volunteers who can help us to ensure that the service we provide remains FREE of charge to those it benefits. | ||

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 |
