PLYMOUTH and West Devon Talking Newspaper for the Blind, a Tavistock based charity, held a successful flag-day collection in the town and at Morrisons and Tesco supermarkets on April 14 and April 15.

Thanks to the usual generosity of Tavistock town folk and many visitors, a total of £1.667 was collected.

Our annual street collection is very important in making it possible to continue providing a free, weekly ‘Talking Newspaper’ service to the blind in the West Devon and Plymouth area.

Through the Times, we would like once again to thank the kind people of Tavistock and everyone involved in the collection, for their generous response.

Honorary treasurer of the Plymouth and South West Devon Cassette Newspapers for the Blind
