New tenants will automatically be given 6 weeks rent free on signing of contracts. To find out more give Alastair McPhee a call on 0141-563-0306 or email or our schedule.

Notes to Editors:

Cue and Review Recording Service is Scotland's largest independently funded talking newspaper group, transcribing fifteen print magazines and newspapers into audio formats for the benefit of visually- and reading-impaired people.

Cue and Review Recording Service is one of over 600 talking newspapers and magazine groups throughout the United Kingdom, but the only one providing the specific titles that it records.

Cue and Review Recording Service is based in Bishopbriggs, Glasgow. It is a Scottish registered charity and a company limited by guarantee but without share capital. As a non-statutory organisation it must raise every penny it spends. Income is drawn from membership fees, donations, street collections, individual grants and from transcription work carried out for public and private sector clients. This helps them meet their responsibilities under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. In 2004 over 5,000 Scots were helped by the charity specifically through its recording of public/private sector information.

Since January 2004 the service has introduced a membership fee which presently stands at 60p per week enabling people to gain access to the full range of audio titles.

Titles recorded by the service are The Herald, Sunday Herald, Evening Times, Scottish Sun, Radio Times, Inside Soap, Earth Matters, Star Trek, SFX, Empire, History Today, Kerrang, Cue and Review, Four Four Two and More magazines
