Welcome

  • ATNA members recording local newsWe are a charitable organisation run entirely by volunteers, operating throughout Angus producing local news for blind and partially sighted people, in both CD and USB stick formats.
  • The Association was established in 1982 by the late Stan Letton of Brechin and the service has been continuous ever since, apart from a short hiatus during the Covid pandemic.
  • For years we had teams covering the local newspapers in Arbroath, Brechin, Carnoustie/Monifieth, Forfar/ Kirriemuir, and Montrose, but following Covid, a drop in volunteer numbers, and the amalgamation of all the Angus local newspapers into the one publication – The Angus County Press – we have now streamlined our operation into one group based in Brechin, producing one monthly edition covering the whole of Angus

We are pleased and grateful to have received £4900 from the Community Fund of the National Lottery, to be spent on upgrading our equipment and improving our service.
