The Enfield Talking Newspaper was the first talking newspaper in the UK, established in 1961. More than fifty years on, our purpose remains the same - to create an audio recording of the news articles in our local newspapers and to deliver this, as quickly as we can, to blind and partially sighted residents in the borough. The service is entirely free and the charity run and managed by volunteers. In 1961 we began with 6 listeners; today around 170 people receive a memory stick or hear our recording via the internet each week.
