A registered charity based in Witney in West Oxfordshire, Witney Talking News (WTN) provides a free weekly talking news service to local people who are visually impaired or who otherwise have difficulty holding or reading newspapers.  Editions are posted free-of-charge courtesy of a FREE delivery service from the Royal Mail so listeners do not incur costs either for receiving the service or returning the pouch.

Listeners receive a weekly USB stick loaded with around an hour of news recorded each Thursday evening from the Witney Gazette, the Faringdon Folly, the Chipping Norton News and a variety of other publications. This can be played back on the dedicated simple to use playback units that are provided free of charge. They can also be played back on some newer talking book machines or on your own computer.

Please use the menu bar at the top of the screen for more details about our service or to contact us, or the links on the right of the screen to listen to some previous editions in the archive.
