Today the team and I visited Havering Talking Newspaper, a remarkable Harold Wood charity that for decades has delivered weekly audio rundowns of important borough news to blind or partially sighted residents.
HTC relies on a trusty band of volunteers each week to record local news stories, get them onto memory sticks, and package them up to HTC subscribers who then receive a memory stick in the post which can be played in USB radios sourced directly by the charity.
It is an absolutely fantastic scheme that fills in the gap for delivering local news to blind or partially-sighted people, who can tend only to access national stories by the TV or the web.
I shall be supporting the charity's bid for a Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.
