for

People With Impaired Vision

Tynedale Talking Newspaper (TTN)  is a small charity with an income from fund raising and donations.  

 

Founded in 1982, it's run by around 60 volunteers, forming  8 reading teams.

Each week the Hexham Courant is recorded and copied to standard USB memory sticks, which are sent to about 80 blind and partially sighted listeners in Tynedale.

​

In 2020 we began recording and distributing audio versions of The Northumbrian magazine and every three months we produce our own audio magazine featuring items of local interest.

​

Listeners can play recordings on their own computer or on a special player, designed for people with impaired vision.   

 

TTN can provide these on free loan.
