Exciting news! Last Friday Deputy Mayor of Yate, Councillor Aziz Chowdhry and Councillor Alan Monaghan visited the Cotswold Vale Talking Newspaper studio in Dursley where they handed us a cheque for £200 from Yate Town Council.

This grant is specifically earmarked to purchase a new USB duplicating machine, directly supporting our core mission of providing accessible information to visually impaired residents of Gloucestershire and South Gloucestershire.

Mary Moss accepted the cheque on behalf of Cotswold Vale Talking Newspaper, saying “Generous grants like the one received from Yate Town Council are vital for us to be able to provide our listeners with news and information about their community and keep them involved. We would like to thank Yate Town Council for its continuing support and encouragement to help us to do this.”
