EETN is now proud to announce that Helen Maguire has submitted an Early Day Motion (EDM )in Parliament, in recognition of EETN’s 50th Anniversary.
It reads: That this House congratulates Epsom and Ewell Talking Newspaper on its remarkable achievement of 50 years of service; recognises the charity’s outstanding commitment to supporting visually impaired residents in Epsom and Ewell by providing vital access to news and local information; commends the volunteers whose dedication, effort, and time have made this invaluable service possible; acknowledges the critical role such services play in fostering inclusion and community connection; and wishes the charity continued success in its future endeavours supporting those in need.

EETN thanks Helen Maguire for her continuing support and promotion of the charity.
Helen Maguire’s Newsletter
In Parliament, I recently congratulated the Epsom and Ewell Talking Newspaper on their incredible milestone of 50 years of service to our local area. This remarkable charity has played a crucial role in supporting visually impaired residents in Epsom and Ewell, ensuring they have ongoing access to the latest news, stories, and local information. Through their work, the Talking Newspaper helps foster a greater sense of inclusion and brings the community closer together.
At the heart of this success are the wonderful volunteers who devote their time, enthusiasm, and energy to this important work. Their commitment has kept the service thriving for half a century, and their dedication provides a lifeline of connection and understanding for those who rely on it.
I know many of you, like me, appreciate all that the Epsom and Ewell Talking Newspaper team has done and will continue to do, through their vital service. Here’s to another 50 years of making a difference, enriching lives, and ensuring everyone can feel informed, involved, and valued in our community.
Helen Maguire is the MP for Epsom and Ewell and currently undertakes the role of Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Defence).
