A CHARITY providing news content for visually impaired people has been boosted by a £1,000 donation.

Lichfield Talking News, which is supported by content from *Lichfield Live*, provides weekly recordings for local residents.

The initiative has now been boosted by £1,000 from Redrow Midlands.

John May MBE, chairman at Lichfield Talking News, said:

> “We provide 21 hours a week of news, magazines and information to the sight impaired to help reduce loneliness for people who may be feeling isolated.  
>  
> “A big thank you to Redrow Midlands for the donation. The £1,000 will enable more people to enjoy our service, making news more accessible.”

The money has come from the housebuilder’s community fund.

Elaine Cartwright, sales director at Redrow Midlands, said:

> “We are delighted to be able to support Lichfield Talking News with our latest community fund donation.  
>  
> “We are committed to building thriving communities within our developments and are proud to support incredible organisations that are dedicated to serving the residents of Lichfield and the surrounding area.
