Voted the Best Talking Newspaper & Magazine tapes in the UK 1997
Since 1981 the Tandridge Lions Talking Newspaper has been dedicated to producing and delivering the local news in cassette format each week free of charge for blind and partially-sighted people in the Tandridge area.
Currently our talking newspapers and magazines are enjoyed by 160 visually-impaired people on a standard cassette player in their own homes.
The news is edited from the local editions of the Surrey Mirror, Croydon Advertiser and East Grinstead Courier as well as from the local free papers. The Council's magazine - the Tandridge Magazine - is also produced on tape by the Talking Newspaper.
The Tandridge Lions Talking Newspaper is totally free to the visually impaired as all help is voluntary. Additionally should a listener not own a cassette player, one can be temporarily loaned free of charge.
