Erewash Valley community comes together for park clean-up! 🌳 Volunteers of all ages joined forces to tidy up West Park, collecting litter and planting new flowers. It’s a wonderful boost for local wildlife and a great way to meet neighbours.

A lovely story from Grimsby: a buddy dog is helping a girl who is losing her sight rebuild confidence and feel safer getting out and about.

For many sight impaired people, independence is not one big leap. It is lots of small steps, with the right support alongside.

That is why we do what we do at Erewash Valley Talking News. Every three weeks we deliver a free USB full of local news, stories, quizzes and RNIB magazines, with options to listen online too.

If you know someone in the Erewash Valley who might enjoy a free window on the world, please share this with them.

A lovely idea from Liverpool: a bright yellow practice bus stop has been installed at the Royal School for the Blind to help sight impaired pupils build confidence using public transport.

The stop sits in a safe training area with things young people may meet out and about, including a pelican crossing and other street features. Staff say it lets pupils practise at their own pace before trying busy streets.

At Erewash Valley Talking News, we know how much independence matters. If you are sight impaired in the Erewash Valley area, we provide a free audio service with local news, stories and entertainment, delivered every three weeks on a USB stick, and also available on our website and Alexa.

To listen or to refer someone, visit https://longeatontn.org.uk or message us here.
