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.
