Sound On Talking Newspaper - Speaker

Sound On is the Talking Newspaper providing a weekly 90-minute audio programme of local news, serving people with a visual impairment in Ipswich Stowmarket, Leiston, and surrounding towns and villages.

Tim and Rachel Pennick are both Sound On volunteers.  Tim has been totally blind since infancy, and a Talking Newspaper listener since the late 1970s, he currently chairs the Sound On Management Committee.

The talk will cover the purpose, operation, and history of Sound On, and options for its future.

Tim and Rachel will also talk about volunteering and fund-raising for Sound On, and Tim’s experiences as a blind person, giving an idea of the audience served by the Talking Newspaper.

Also present will be Tim’s Golden Retriever Guide Dog Kola.

The talk will last approximately an hour including time for Questions and Answers.

Refreshments will be served following the talk.
