Welcome to Bolton Newstalk!
Bolton Newstalk is a registered charity No. 507293 and is a member of the Talking News Federation (TNF), the national body of talking newspapers.
We provide a free, fortnightly digest of local news from the Bolton area, for the blind/visually impaired or disabled, recorded with the co-operation of the local newspaper - The Bolton News. The programme is recorded at our own studio at The Sensory Centre, Thicketford and made into a podcast, it is also posted on the Talking Newspaper app. It is also available via Alexa and now it is also available by calling 01204 226336, this service is for people who do not have internet access or a smart phone. If you know of anyone who may benefit from this service, please let them know, it is charged at a local call number unless you have a phone package whereby most calls are included. After 55 minutes you will hear a beep, so that you can hang up and redial, it remembers where you were listening.
We can also provide an Audio Conversion Service, with printed CDs if required, at very reasonable rates.
There will be an Extraordinary General Meeting on Tuesday 28th January, 7:30pm at The Southfields, Green Lane, Bolton, to discuss the future of Bolton Newstalk. If you would like to attend please contact Bolton Newstalk Secretary Jim Walton on 07547914637 or email newstalk@icloud.com
