Black Country Talking News

The Black Country Talking News is a free service which is produced each week for people living with sight loss to help them keep in touch with their community.

In the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak we believe this service has never been more needed with many more people now isolated in their own homes and having little contact with the outside world.

We are reliant on donations to help cover our production costs and if you are able to make a donation it could help us to continue to provide this vital service in this time of crisis.

In this week’s edition we have:

The latest Beacon update with Helen.
We have the quiz with Meena.
From the iconic Wren’s Nest to championing some our region’s best – We have some more fascinating news for the Black Country.
An Octoberfest with a difference, in Flashback Roger’s did you know section.
We have all the reaction to this week’s football action for West Brom and Wolves, in our new Fanzone feature!
Can we afford to put our wellies and brollies aside this week? We here from Meena who has the weather forecast for the week ahead.

And you may want to check your pockets and down the side of your sofa for this one, as we have a feature focussing on our humble heptagonal friend- the 50p piece, which may be worth a lot, lot, lot more than you think! Along with a few clever sight loss tips to help with recognising money.
