WE THANK THE POSTAL SERVICES WHO PROVIDE FREE POSTAGE FOR OUR RECIPIENTS. WITHOUT WHICH WE COULD NOT OPERATE.

WE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SUPPORT GIVEN TO US BY ACKRILL NEWSPAPERS LTD. WHO PROVIDE US WITH FREE NEWSPAPERS AND ALLOW US TO US THEIR MATERIAL FOR OUR TAPE SERVICE.

APART FROM BEQUESTS, OUR MAIN SOURCE OF INCOME IS FROM THE SALE OF CHRISTMAS CARDS WITH PAINTINGS OF BUILDINGS WITHIN HARROGATE DISTRICT BY AN ARTIST WHO PRODUCES A NEW PAINTING EACH YEAR FOR US. WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO HIM FOR HIS KIND HELP.

A magazine is sent to all recipients who wish to receive it and is produced monthly. This contains items of interest, a quiz, information of interest, and other articles. Our magazine is very popular with recipients.

We also have a talking book cassette library service with about 1,000 titles available on loan.

We are aware that due to the growing scarcity of cassettes and players due to technical advances, we will soon have to change our cassette distribution system and we are progressing a totally digital system using memory sticks. details of which are given on the page -
