 We offer a monthly information service, which (unlike our weekly Briefing service) is also available on standard audio compact disc. The CD is delivered, free of charge, every month to any vision-impaired person within the UK who requests it. This service might therefore suit someone who has no direct,or indirect, access to the Internet.

COMMENT
From Paul in Eastbourne:
"My copy of this month's Infosound Despatch arrived today and I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. I have to say that it is what has been needed for a long time. As a blind person, I feel that I am always the last one to find out about anything so it is good to have the information about so many varied and different topics all on one CD.
Your readers are very clear and articulate which really helps.
Please keep up the good work as it really does make such a difference to so many of us."

The monthly Despatch CD doesn't have to be returned so it can be kept for future reference.
The monthly Infosound Despatch lasts for a litle under an hour and contains a number of audio features on a variety of different topics, all of which are aimed at informing someone who lives with sight loss about products, services, support and issues that affect everyday life.
On this page you can play or download the complete Infosound Despatch. You can also choose to either play or download the individual component items it contains or visit a relevant web site for further information about each topic.
Sighted professionals, carers, family members and others, to whom we are unable to post the CD, can listen to each month's edition on this web page and previous editions can be found in the Infosound Archive.
If you, or someone you know, would like to receive the free monthly Infosound Despatch on audio CD, please let us know by leaving a message on 084 55 55 55 28 or by emailing audio@infosound.org.uk.
