How
can I become a listener? If you are
interested in information, news, and entertainment, and you are unable to
read a newspaper because you are blind or visually impaired, you can receive
The Swindon Talking Newspaper (STAN) on a memory stick, every fortnight. The
recordings contain local news items from the Swindon Advertiser, features
such as sport and other interesting items. The service is free to the
listener. The circulated memory stick is free, including postage, but if you
don't have the facilities to listen to it then STAN can lend you a player
that is also free. The
talking newspaper memory sticks are sent every fortnight on a Thursday by
post in a reusable plastic wallet, and usually arrive on Friday morning. You
then have ten days to listen to the content. STAN asks that you try to post
the wallet back (free of charge) at the latest a few days before the next
recording in a fortnights time. If you have not finished listening to the
memory stick, please hold on to it, and return the wallet empty. Just pop the
memory stick in the next time you return the wallet. · About us Swindon & District Talking Newspaper Association |
