Cue and Review Print Speaking to the Blind

30/10/2026

There’s more happening at Bishopbriggs Media Centre than you might realise.

The Centre isn't only home to Cue and Review. We share the building with a fantastic mix of local businesses and organisations.

We want to do more to celebrate our tenants and introduce them to the Cue and Review community, so we're pleased to share this latest update.

Supporting local businesses based here also helps sustain the building from which Cue and Review continues its work for people living with sight loss.

All smiles for !

Don't forget to tune into our posts and see first hand the impact that Befriending can make. 💕

This is something we wanted to share with our followers.

Accessibility is about making sure people living with sight loss can participate, stay informed and remain connected with their community.

That is at the heart of what we do at Cue and Review.

🎙️📰 Forget Budget Day for a moment… today is Cue and Review AGM Day! Online 6.30pm tonight

While the Chancellor has one rather important set of papers to read, Cue and Review has an AGM to get through. 😄

Today is our chance to look back at the past year, report on what we have been doing and look ahead to the future of our talking newspaper service for people living with sight loss.

And talking of reading papers, our volunteer readers already know a thing or two about that. Week after week, they turn the printed word into accessible audio.

So today we have:

📰 Volunteer readers reading the news
🎙️ Recordings being made
📊 Annual reports and accounts
📝 AGM business to get through
☕ And hopefully time for tea!

The Chancellor has the Budget Box.

We have microphones, newspapers, volunteers and an AGM.

We know which meeting matters most to us! ❤️

Happy AGM Day from everyone at Cue and Review.

Someone you care about is losing their sight. Where do you start?

When sight loss affects a relative or friend, finding the right information can feel difficult.

Cue and Review has brought together video information in one place to help people living with sight loss, along with their families, friends and supporters.

The Power of One – Tomorrow's Draw

Tomorrow's draw could be won by anyone.

Today, you can be the one who makes a difference.

For someone living with sight loss, a talking newspaper is more than news. It is connection. It is independence. It is the reassuring voice that keeps them linked to their community, local stories and the world around them.

Every week, our volunteers give their time to record local newspapers and information that many people can no longer read themselves.

That service exists because people choose to help.

One volunteer. One listener. One supporter. One lottery ticket.

The Power of One is real.

If you have already joined our lottery, thank you. Your support helps us continue providing free audio services to people living with sight loss across Scotland.

If you have not joined yet, there is still time before tomorrow's draw.

Please also share this post. Even if you cannot take part yourself, one share could reach the person who decides to support our work.

Together, small actions create a big impact.

44 years of Cue and Review ❤️

Today our Chair Eileen sent Alastair this brilliant birthday card.

It also comes at a rather special moment for Cue and Review.

Our story began in 1982, and this month marks 44 years since those early days when the service that became Cue and Review first started making printed information accessible through audio.

Only a few years later, in 1985, Alastair appeared on BBC One’s Pebble Mill, interviewed by Paul Coia about the work.

You can watch that wonderful piece of our history here:

Technology has changed enormously since then. Cassettes have given way to podcasts, smart speakers, YouTube and online listening.

But the purpose remains remarkably familiar: helping people living with sight loss access the news and information that others can simply pick up and read.

So today we are celebrating a birthday and looking back on 44 years of reading, recording, volunteering and listening.

❤️ Thank you to everyone who has been part of the Cue and Review story over those 44 years.

💬 Were you involved with Cue and Review in the early years? Do you remember our cassette days, or even seeing the Pebble Mill interview in 1985?

Please share your memories in the comments. We would particularly love to hear from former volunteers, listeners and supporters, or anyone who has old photographs, recordings, cassettes or newspaper cuttings from our early years.

Have you spotted the Cue and Review team in the paper? 📰🎙️

There’s something particularly fitting about appearing in the newspaper that our volunteers help make accessible through audio.

Better still, you can still hear the article as part of the talking newspaper recording.

🎧 Listen here:

For people living with sight loss, local news should be heard as well as seen.

Did you see the article in the paper? Let us know in the comments below.

We’d also love to hear your ideas. If you know of ways our three groups could work together to help more local people, please leave a comment below. Your suggestion could help us make new connections in our community.

Please share this post too, particularly with anyone living with sight loss who might enjoy keeping up with local news.
