Hi,
And they may be struggling further to find the volunteers, because in a number
of ways, volunteering can cost the volunteer.
Best,
Clive

Also, using volunteers is not without cost. I was once forced to cancel a
volunteer programme because there were not the resources to recruit and manage
volunteers properly. They give their labour free, but otherwise it's like
employing a paid worker.

I could be mistaken but I believe one of David Cameron's wonderful measures was
to render charitable entities liable to tax on donations hence . the cutback
because charitable bodies are required to set aside money to pay the exchequer,
therefore the amount of money available for some voluntary services is either
unavailable or heavily reduced.

last well how true it is about only having one life and things are much harder
for us blind people now. we have just had a letter this morning saying that
the service that was provided to us via the rotary club has ended. this
service used to give blind people the chance to go to a concert in leeds where
the drivers would take you and fetch you back. so, as i said on my last post
things are going to get so much worse with the cut backs so if you can aford to
go for something and learn it then go for it. ----- Original Message -----

1still now we do have a much better choice than we did years ago. hi there
well as jackie says that's why all this is so interesting as we are all
different i am very lucky to be able to buy stuff but my motoe is you only have
one life and if you want the best and you can get it go for it. it is bad
enough not seing anything in a visual world so just go for it. again i am very
fortunate to be able to do so but for me the tellorion has terific apps and it
is so very very easy to use. i do agree with you and martin though for someone
on a low budget it is hard to get something which is really very good and
accessible. maybe in the future things like the telorion could work on the
new moto gee at ?150 and again as you say blind people have to pay lots more
for this stuff just like the satnav but at ----- Original Message ----- From:

Hi John. Telorian is ?260 without a phone, its way above my price range let
alone Jim's LOL. I've heard of it of course, but I'm not sure where my money
would be going except in to the pocket of yet another company providing
another bolt-on solution for Android devices. Android phones have their own
accessibility built right in, so why cant people learn to use that rather than
paying for a proprietary solution? With Talks and Symbian we didn't have much
choice, well we had talks or mobile speak, but this? Anyway, I'll get off my
hobby horse now LOL. -----Original Message----- From: john gallagher Sent:

Re: More Nokia C5 Woes hi there what a shame he cannot afford the tellorion
and learn how that works as it is so much much better and works on the android
setup. maybe going on some kinnd of contract could solve it. ----- Original

Hi Ibrahim I agree, absolutely, but Jim said he has limited funds, and unless
he goes to the second-hand market, I could only think of the Alto2 as a quick
solution. Kind regards, Jackie Brown Twitter: @thebrownsplace Skype:

Woes Hi Jackie. Surely the Alto 2 is a very basic phone which has very
limited features. You couldn't compare the two devices if you tried, and Jim
would be losing a lot of functionality by moving to such a cheap dumb phone.
All the best, Ibrahim. -----Original Message----- From: Jackie Brown Sent:

[access-uk] Re: More Nokia C5 Woes Hi Jim With limited funds, and in keeping
with the type of phone you already have, perhaps the nearest would be the
Alto2 from RNIB? I suggest this because it is unlocked, and will enable you
to simply swap over your Sim card. It also has a tactile keypad, and you
wouldn't need to purchase a Talks upgrade because speech is built into the
Alto2. I hope this helps give you some food for thought. Kind regards,

access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] More Nokia C5 Woes Hi Lists,
Apologies for cross posting but I need as much advice as possible. I thought
the battery had died on my C5 but tests prove this not to be the case. I have
been informed that is probably a display malfunction or even a motherboard
issue. The display will cost ?25-?30 alone to rectify, with possibly a
similar amount for the motherboard replacement. Rather than spend such an
amount on repairs I was wondering if anyone can point me to a replacement of
some kind. Funds are limited at the moment so I will need to consider very
carefully what are my options. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Jim Williams
