John Tarling Brighton Rotary cheque

On 16 October 2024, John Tarling, Trustee of the Brighton, Hove & District Talking Newspaper, presented us with a generous cheque representing the residual funds following the sad closure of BH&DTN in March 2023. This enabled up to offset the added production costs of including our 5th news edition.

The Brighton area talking newspaper had a proud history of 47 years bringing local news to visually impaired people in the local area.  Sadly, dwindling listener figures, volunteers and newer technology threatened the charity and WTN have now taken over the news service.

We would like to thank our generous sponsors
