Hi - I volunteer in Kings and was with a patient today who is very sick and has lost her sight. I wondered if anyone has a small radio or talking book ??? I don't know how they work so I'm open to suggestions. The patient is quite religous so she could listen to a religous radio station. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Hi Topbanana


Thank you so much for your kindness, I think the most useful thing would be a personal radio, it would have to have simple controls as the patient is not used to blindness, I would also be happy to put money towards something, I've organised a speaking clock - hopefully that will also be useful.

Have a read of this about the Stream BookSense and let me know your thoughts. It has a speaking clock built in already.

I am in that part of town on Friday so can get one if the RNIB have one in stock. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Top Banana by name, Top Banana by nature. Lovely act of kindness. Top stuff TB. And you Hilili. Seems to be some good things going on at the moment via the EDF.


I'll do my bit for the local economy in the Xmas build up and purchase most of my Guiness and associated beverages on Lordship Lane.


Barry!

    • I am looking for 10 or 20 jam jars as our apricot tree has way too much fruit. Happy to trade in a  2 kilos apricots for some jars.
    • They used to be clear dates when teachers could resign from permanent positions.  now isn’t one of them.  Any school receiving a sudden resignation at this time of the year wouldn’t be able to advertise andappoint a permanent member of staff by September.  They would probably use agency staff.
