One of the radios delivered by British Wireless For The Blind.
Dozens of people with sight loss have been given free radios during the pandemic as part of a charity campaign.
British Wireless For The Blind Fund set up the project in April, offering contact-free delivery of DAB and FM devices, to provide people with news, entertainment and companionship.
The organisation has now shipped a milestone 1,500 radios across the UK, including 170 to those in the north and north-east of Scotland.
Regional development manager Sophie Wheldon said: “We were unsure about whether a socially-distanced installation and support service would be possible when we first launched the scheme back in April, having been forced to adapt our usual services.
“Living with sight loss at a time when other social contact has been curtailed is especially hard, so the radios really are a lifeline for our service users during this pandemic.”
