The Stafford & Stone Talking Newspaper needs you

Available for over a year

For most of us, if we want to catch up on the days news - we can get on our phones and have a scroll on various news sites, or even grab a copy of the paper to have a read. But for those who are blind or have a visual impairment it's not always that straightforward. Well in Stafford, one organisation has been providing blind and partially sighted people with a recording of articles from the local newspaper for more than forty years. Stafford & Stone Talking Newspaper has been running since 1981. Articles were originally recorded on to cassettes but nowadays, they’re using more up-to-date technology and they want more young people involved to help it continue its great work. Our reporter Matt Weigold went to Trinity Church to meet the Chairman.
