About Us



Organisation & Management

The Swindon & District Talking Newspaper Association (STAN) is an independent registered charity (Registered Charity number 284665) based at Craven House, 145 Victoria Road, Swindon SN1 3BU.

The Talking Newspaper is run by volunteers, and managed by a committee elected annually, according to the Constitution.

Like 350+ other local talking newspapers STAN is affiliated to the Talking News Federation.

Membership

Membership is free to listeners and volunteers. There are currently 20+ volunteers and around 100 listeners.

Funds

Although the listeners receive the memory sticks free, and volunteers give their time free, there are expenses that have to be met. These include equipment such as memory sticks and USB players for blind or partially sighted listeners, postage wallets, and technical equipment for creation and duplication of the memory sticks.
