Our Volunteers

Cirencester & District Talking News currently has 18 Volunteers who carry out a range of tasks including Administration, News Editing, News Reading, Magazine Presenting, Sound Recording and Copying the CDs to send to Listeners via the free postal service using ‘Articles for the Blind’.

Volunteers work in small teams to produce alternate fortnightly editions of local news and a fortnightly magazine.

There are currently two magazine teams: each team comprises two Presenters and a Sound Recorder and they record every four weeks.

There are also three news teams: each team comprises three Readers, a News Editor and a Sound Recorder. News teams record every six weeks currently on a Saturday morning.

We are currently looking for Volunteers to act as News Editor so if you are interested in selecting suitable local news and What’s On items to create an interesting script for the News Recorders please register your interest in becoming a Volunteer.

We are always looking for enthusiastic new volunteers who would like to offer us their skills.  Role Descriptions for all volunteer positions are available below.

Our volunteers operate from our studio/office at INSERT CIRENCESTER ADDRESS and/or from home, depending on the role.

Already a Volunteer with us?

The Charity is managed and adminstered by a governing body: the Committee whose members are the Trustees. You can meet our Trustees and Admin Team here. (ADD RELEVANT PAGES).

The Trustees have the ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of the Charity and ensuring that it is solvent, well-run and delivering its objectives.

There are two main types of Trustee: the three Officers, who are elected by the Volunteers annually at the AGM in the role of:

  • Chair of the Trustees
  • Treasurer
  • Secretary to the Trustees

In addition, there is a Listener Trustee elected by the Listeners to represent their interests.

There are also co-opted Trustees who are invited by the Officers to carry out a specific role or who have expertise considered useful for the running of the Charity for a stated period (generally a year, but this can be extended).

Trustees’ names are registered with the Charity Commission, and the Charity Commission expects Trustees to take their responsibilities seriously, whilst recognising that they are Volunteers and may make honest mistakes.
