Reading Cadets help charity for the blind
A group of Cadets from Reading have
been getting involved in the community thanks to a newly formed
relationship with The Reading Talking Newspaper for the
Blind.
Rota of volunteers
The Cadets have joined a rota of volunteers as part of the
copying team and are helping to erase incoming
tapes, sort any notes from listeners and copy, check and pack new
tapes.
This is a fantastic way for cadets to gain insight into services in the community while at the same time supoport the great work of well respected local charity.
Daniel Williams
Divisional Officer, Reading District Cadets
The Reading Talking Newspaper has been
operating in Reading since the mid 1970's and
today provides around 200 local residents
suffering from blindness or visual impairment with the chance to
keep up to date with local events by producing a weekly
recording of news featured in the press. Tapes are
delivered directly to listeners free of charge and over the years
the service has become invaluable to them.
Daniel Williams, Divisional Officer for Reading
District's Cadets said: 'This is a fantastic way
for cadets to gain an insight into services in the community while
at the same time support the great work of an
established and well respected local charity. Hopefully the
arrangement will last for a long time to come'.
