About South Bucks Talking News
We are dedicated to bringing local news to those in the southern part of Buckinghamshire who are blind, visually impaired or otherwise unable to read the news through a disability. Our teams record articles every week from the Bucks Free Press Group and other local journals covering southern Buckinghamshire. The recordings are copied onto small USB memory sticks and posted on Saturday in specially designed plastic envelopes to recipients, who can then listen at their convenience at home. The service is entirely free to listeners.
