On Thursday 5th October, Jeremy Quin MP for Horsham visited Roundabout Talking News in their studio at the Drill Hall.
Roundabout has been providing a free talking newspaper to visually impaired people in the District since 1978. The service is wholly provided by volunteers who each week edit a selection of articles from the West Sussex County Times to be read and recorded and shared by memory stick with their listeners. It is highly valued service provided entirely free to listeners.
Jeremy said “It was great to meet the team of volunteers at Roundabout Talking News and join them as they recorded their latest edition.
“The service Roundabout provides is vital in keeping visually impaired people living in the District connected with local news and what is happening in their local communities.
“I am grateful to all those who have volunteered for Roundabout since it was established in 1978.”
Alongside recording for their latest edition, volunteers also interviewed Jeremy with this being shared with their listeners.
