Enfield Talking Newspaper
For over six decades, Enfield Talking Newspaper has been a quiet, vital thread in the community's fabric. Born in 1961 as the very first service of its kind in the UK, it began with a simple, powerful idea: to give blind and partially sighted residents independent access to the local stories that matter. That core mission hasn't changed. Each edition is a carefully curated audio recording, drawn directly from the pages of local newspapers, delivered promptly and free of charge. Tuning into this podcast means hearing the life of the borough-council decisions, community events, sports results, and human interest features-read with clarity and care by dedicated volunteers. It’s more than a news summary; it’s a direct, personal connection to the neighbourhood’s heartbeat, preserving dignity and inclusion through information. While created for a specific audience, the podcast also offers anyone interested in Enfield a unique, focused digest of hyper-local happenings, all born from a remarkable legacy of voluntary service. This is local journalism, voiced.
