Three Rivers Talking Newspaper
Volunteers read news principally from the Beccles and Bungay Journal weekly paper. It is distributed to those in the local community who are visually impaired and/or with a disability that prevents them from holding or reading a newspaper.
The news is recorded digitally and we provide the necessary equipment to listeners. The service is entirely free.
The area we distribute to includes Beccles, Bungay, Halesworth, Harleston, Loddon, Diss, Southwold, and all surrounding areas and villages.
We can also post to other parts of the UK (tusing free mail service offered by the Royal Mail). In addition, we record a quarterly magazine.
