Celebrating our volunteers

National Volunteers’ Week takes place from 1 to 7 June every year and is a celebration across the UK of all the contributions volunteers make to their community.

Our Telecare Service is going digital!

Telecommunications providers across the UK, such as BT, Virgin Media, Sky and Talk Talk are replacing analogue phone lines with digital equivalents with analogue phone lines being switched off by January 2027.

This shift means that phone services will be delivered in the same way as internet connections and will affect the delivery of telecare services across Scotland.
