Hi,
Not only the cost of CRB's, but the fact that the bureaucracy could put off
some potential helpers.
Best,
Clive

Or there is a cost.
Who pays the CRB fees!
Who pays the insurance?

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.

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

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

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

as it is so much much better and works on the android setup. maybe going on

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

Re: More Nokia C5 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.

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, Jackie Brown Twitter: @thebrownsplace

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 ** To
