A CHARITY has appealed for help with recycling used CD's.
The County Durham Society for the Blind and Partially Sighted sends out two local talking newspapers which cover the North and South of the County to over 700 visually impaired people
Previously, everyone received the talking newspaper on cassette tape but as it becomes more difficult to purchase them, the Society has so far managed to fund a change over to CD for those who would prefer it.
However, as not all CD players will play re-writable CD's, the charity uses single use discs to record each edition and 400 discs are returned every month.
Director Linda Curtis said: "We make every effort as a charity to be as 'green' as possible and so would welcome any ideas from businesses that could help us to recycle the CD's along with raising funds to continue the change over from tapes."
Anyone who is able to help with recycling or requires any further information about sight loss or fundraising opportunities, contact the society on 0191-3868175.
