In this week’s edition we have:

All the latest from Beacon including the Lifestyle Newsletter for September with Dan.

With next week marking Sensory Awareness Week (7-13 September), the City of Wolverhampton Council's Sensory Team shall be hosting a range of activities, including a series of informative videos, demonstration sessions, and awareness stands at both the Civic Centre and the Beacon Centre.

To learn more about the Sensory Team's Vision Support Service, we caught up with Ellie, a Rehabilitation Officer for Visual Impairment (ROVI), to hear about the support available and the difference it makes to people's lives.

There’s some fascinating news  from across the Black Country.

We continue our journey “’round the Wrekin” with Michael and Lesley Braccia.

In our brand-new feature, we potter about in the garden with our very own Talking News contributor and volunteer, Peter.

And of course, we have the latest goings-on from the village of Leeford!- our exclusive drama series, written by local authors Jon Markes and Michael Braccia - with audio also provided by Michael and Lesley Braccia.
