🚨 URGENT HELP NEEDED – LOCAL BUILDERS REQUIRED 🚨
Local Builders – Can You Help Our Charity?
Cue and Review Recording Service, based at Bishopbriggs Media Centre, needs assistance with an external repair. A section of the wall above one of our roller shutters has deteriorated, exposing steelwork and insulation. This area now requires urgent attention to prevent further damage.
We’re looking for local builders or contractors who can help us carry out the necessary repairs. Any support – advice, materials, or labour – would be greatly appreciated and will help us continue providing audio access to printed materials for blind and partially sighted people.

🕯️ Remembering Peter Fraser MBE
We are saddened to share the passing of Peter Fraser MBE, founder of Playback Recording Service and long-time supporter of accessible audio for blind and partially sighted people.
Peter’s vision and dedication helped shape the landscape of talking newspapers in Scotland. His influence continues through the work of Playback, Cue and Review and all those talking newspapers he supported and the volunteers he inspired.
