How We Work

Our weekly routine starts by editing

Once the Buxton Advertiser is available on a Thursday, one of our volunteers begins the task of cutting and sorting the relevant articles for the reading teams.

Editing takes about 1.5 hours from 9 - 10.30 am

Reading begins

A team of three readers work their way through the edited articles. The readers begin at 10.30 am through to around 1 pm, depending on the number of articles.

Technical

The technician is needed from 10.30 to completion of the recording (around 3pm). Once reading is complete, they then begin the job of compiling a digital file ready to copy to the memory sticks.

Ready for distribution

Our admin team work in pairs from 3 - 4pm to get the pouches ready.

Each of our readers are sent a yellow pouch containing the digital Buxton Advertiser. The memory stick is returned in the pouch once the user has listened to it.
