Talking Newspaper

East Cheshire Eye Society shares its premises with sister charity, The Macclesfield & District Talking Newspaper for people who are affected by sight loss.

It is available for free for people who are affected by sight loss living in Macclesfield, Bollington, Poynton, Prestbury and surrounding districts, or who have links with the area.

Do you listen to your local Talking Newspaper on a smartphone or tablet?  The Speech Talking Newspaper app will be decommission later this summer, however the Talking Newspaper skill will still be available on Alexa.

The Alexa app can be downloaded to smartphones and tablets so you can still listen on the go.  For more information, contact your local talking newspaper, or East Cheshire Eye Society.

The Talking Newspaper is sent out for free each week by Royal Mail to listeners who then return the USB sticks (in the special pouch provided) ready for the next issue. Simple USB players are provided on loan, which are set up and introduced to new listeners by a volunteer who will come out to their home.

The Talking Newspaper offers people who are affected by sight loss in the borough an audio version of the Macclesfield Express, and includes a general interest audio magazine, the TN Tapestry.
