Link-Up is a member of the
Talking News Federation.
Link-Up provides a fortnightly
talking newspaper to over 100 users.
Each fortnight our Editors comb
the local newspapers for articles which we think will be of interest to our
listeners. These articles are then collated and our Readers record them onto an
audio computer file.
The completed file is
transferred to a memory stick which, in turn, becomes the Master for
transferring the audio news file to over 100 other memory sticks. These sticks
are then sent out, free of charge, by post to our listeners. When they have
finished listening, they send the memory sticks back to us, once again free of
charge.
But how do our listeners hear
this news, you may ask? Link-Up provides, free of charge, what we call a Boom
Box to each and every listener. Our Home Visitor goes to each listener's home
and demonstrates the simple controls of the Boom Box and, should any listener
encounter a problem, our Home Visitor will call and solve it.
If you, or anyone you know,
would like to become a listener and receive our fortnightly talking newspaper,
please do not hesitate to contact Link-Up, and the details are on the Contact
Us page.
