Bedford and District Audio News (BDAN )BDAN records and distributes weekly and quarterly audio cassette tapes of local news and features in English, for those who cannot see or hold a newspaper. The service is free, run by unpaid volunteers, and covers the Bedford and district area (roughly a 10 mile radius around the town) in eastern England - about 60 miles north of London. Most of our 300 listeners live locally, but others are further afield - keen to catch up with news if they have moved away. As such, there is no geographical boundary to our service within the UK. The Royal Mail does not charge for conveying the tapes under the Articles For The Blind postal concession. Our volunteers and listeners live across Bedfordshire and beyond, including several from the north Bucks area. There could be residents in and around Olney who might wish to volunteer, or that they qualify to take our tapes. Some of our listeners have moved away from Bedford, but still like to keep up-to-date with news from the district. |
