VOLUNTEERS are needed for Worcester Talking Newspaper, which sends out recordings of news read from the Worcester News to around 120 visually impaired people each week.

A spokesman said: "We are desperate for volunteers to help us with simple administration duties, nothing too difficult, just support to assist before and after our recordings on Thursdays and to make ready the recordings for collection, by the Post Office, on Friday mornings. Training can be arranged to suit but preferably on a Thursday afternoon. Once confident, the checking of returned recordings happens any time after 12.30pm on Thursdays, taking between 1.5 and 2 hours. Copying from memory sticks and putting into wallets ready for post collection takes an hour on a Friday morning and is simple. We need volunteers on a four-week rota."
