The Future


  • Our History
  • Constitution

    The Association has been producing tapes since 1982 but it has long been realised that it is not well known in the community. Potential listeners either have not heard of the service, or believe it is only available to those who are registered as blind or partially sighted. It is essential in the future that local people know all about this local service. This website is part of our publicity initiative.

    Each generation has learnt to use the ‘latest’ technology such as records, tapes, CD’s, or computers and this technology will develop in the future and the Association must keep up with our listener’s requirements. Eventually we may be able to put our weekly tape out via this website.

    The Association would like to introduce a Talking Prescription service into Swindon. This would allow anyone who is unable to easily read the prescription instructions to have a tape of their medication recorded by their doctor, practise nurse, and chemist.
