TORCH AT TALKING NEWS FEDERATION NATIONAL CONFERENCE
Posted: 8th September 2010 by Lin Ball
Torch Trust will be represented at this weekend’s Talking News Federation National Conference in Peterborough.
TORCH TRUST, based in the UK but operating internationally, serves blind and partially sighted people:
- producing Christian literature in formats they can read;
- promoting Christian fellowship with and among them;
- encouraging churches to fully include them and enabling their participation;
- supporting them in any area of Christian spirituality
The aim of TORCH TRUST is to overcome sight loss as a barrier to finding personal faith in Christ and living a fulfilled Christian life.
Torch Fellowship Groups meet at 125 locations across the UK. Search our Directory to find the one nearest to you. TORCH TRUST also runs holidays, house parties and retreats especially for blind and partially sighted people, mostly based at our own Torch Holiday and Retreat Centre in Sussex.
TORCH TRUST produces Christian literature in audio, Braille, giant print and electronic formats. The range includes Bibles, Bible portions, daily Bible readings, scripture text calendars, hymn and song books, tactile greetings cards and magazines. The Torch Library (see the Literature page) is a free postal service giving blind and partially sighted readers access to over 3,500 Christian titles including many biographies and other bestsellers in a mix of audio cassette, DAISY disc, braille and giant print.
Much of what TORCH TRUST does is offered free of charge to blind and partially sighted people who meet generally accepted criteria. Where a charge is made, it is simply to defray costs. We believe blind or partially sighted people should not be expected to pay substantially more for reading materials than sighted people do — even though costs of producing accessible formats are often much higher than standard print costs.
