Volunteers are required on occasional Saturday mornings at the audio studio about once a month copying USB sticks and putting them in the post for our listeners

Become a valuable member of one of the teams that brings the local news to blind and visually impaired people who otherwise are cut off from this regular local information. 

South Bucks Talking News are looking for 2 new Media Copyists to join our committed team of volunteers.

Every Saturday Morning, our Media Copyists (usually 2 at a time) copy our weekly audio recordings made at the studio on Friday evening onto USB message sticks using copying machines that can copy many USB sticks at a time. They then put the USB sticks into addressed plastic pouches and take them to the local Post Office to meet the last posting time for 1st class post so that our listeners get them promptly early the next week.

You need to be a well organised person who is comfortable using simple technology. Everything that is required can be learned easily.

Try it out for a few months and - if you like it - become a valuable member of one of the teams that brings the local news to blind and visually impaired people who otherwise are cut off from this regular local information.

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.
