Personal activities

I think it would be an excellent idea, providing a useful service and also some companionship and conversation. Are you considering it?

I have often thought about it but with reservations like how would it be recieved and how would I go about setting up such a service without falling foul or `regulations`.advice would be appreciated.
Any advice?

You could aproach Age UK locally or perhaps a care/nursing home. I am sure you would be welcomed with open arms! It is a brilliant idea.

It is a brilliant idea messenger go for it!

Your comments are very supportive and encouraging and welcome.[thankful]

Lovely idea, let us know how your idea progresses, I would be interested in doing this too.

It would probably have to be a voluntary service though. There are also talking books and pople who do make "talking" local newspapers. You could be very welcomed to do reading for them.

You would most probably need a CRB check and have pay for it, or no care home management would (or should not) let you near what are probably vulnerable people.

and people even.

It might be useful to contact the RNIB about this, as they support all sorts of activities for people with impaired vision and would probably be glad of ideas and help from new people.

RNIB...never thought of that.
