I agree Paul. Finances for local authorities and for Charities are only going
to tighter and tighter, given the prevailing Austerity agenda the present Govt
(and some of the Media) believes in.

Eleanor,
Don't you know that the Government doesn't give a stuff! It's
going to get worse as well with their austerity agenda.
Kind regards,

Given swingeing cuts to local authority services Eleanor, many
more withdrew paying for TB subscriptions. Regrettably, this is
the reality although in principle it is wrong. However, where do
you suggest the money comes from?

print books and of course as we do not read print books why
should we be paying an extra cost for alternative format

Same here, I know the tb service costs, subscriptions met some
of that
cost in prior times, but now it's all free, they will have a
hard time if
donations don't keep up with what even the heavily subsidised
subscriptions
brought in.

I dont necessarily think TB should be free. I am very happy for
RNIB to
seek donations. I just wonder about where it might end up.
Will the strategy
work?

Let me see if I have understood this properly. You think that
the talking
book service should be "free" - i.e. paid for from donations,
but you don't
think RNIB should actually ask for donations )which of course
we are all
free to make or not according to our preferences and
circumstances) in order
to run it.
Is that right?

Hello,
Just got email fron RNIB Connect, which contained the following:
"Help grow the Talking Books library
RNIB has launched a new online fund allowing supporters to
donate more
easily, as teams work hard to reach their targets through unique
fundraising
drives and activities.
The charity encourages those who find the talking books service
of
benefit to setup an online fund and a new book to the online
shelf. You can
find out more by visiting rnib.org.uk/talkingbooks"
Is it just me? I am puzzled as to exactly what this means?
Comes very soon after their making Talking Books free...
The link they provide does not give further info about this
fund, as far
as I can see.

pardon my sarcasm but, it looks look the "free" service wont be
free
for much longer. expect the RNIB to ramp up their campaign with
strap
lines along the lines of"without your support we cannot
continue to
offer this service" or something to that effect./
