A network meeting is planned for 4th September in Oban, 10.30am till 12.30pm.   We
welcome all members old and new and any who are interested in hearing more about the
Oban, Lorn and the Islands Health and Wellbeing Network.    Venue to be confirmed.  
Contact Carol for details. 
The Network has applied for funding from the Supporting Communities Fund to be able to
run Health and Wellbeing Events in 2026, in Oban and on the Isle of Mull.  If successful,
these events will be similar to events held in recent years on the Isles of Coll and Tiree and in
Oban where members of the public were invited to come along and find out about the
support that is available from Network members.  The funding will also allow us to hold a
face to face meeting for network members in Oban in 2026.  
The switch to digital landlines                                                                                                                                                
An invitation to all to attend a Webinar on 21st August from 2 till 3pm.   All landlines in the
UK are going digital by the end of January 2027.  The webinar has been arranged so those
not able to attend recent in person events and any who are concerned can hear about the
switch to digital landlines and about Digital Voice.   If you want to know what this means for
you, why the change is necessary and hear about support that may be available for
customers who may be vulnerable or who rely on their landline, contact Carol who will send
you joining instructions for the meeting. 
Network members continue sharing and receiving updates about support in our community.
