Autumn 2021 - Online Activities
We have decided to stick with online meetings and activities through to the spring, partly due to ongoing Covid uncertainty and mainly due to cold and wet and dark winter conditions. Our full programme of online activities is posted over to the right. They are free and available to all LGOWIT members and those living with Long Covid in the NHS Highland area. Anyone living with any long term condition in Highland can join LGOWIT by contacting their local community networker. Don't forget we also have our LGOWIT Living Better and LGOWIT Long Covid Highland groups on Facebook for peer support and sharing info plus the LGOWIT Sound Therapy group for a weekly live relaxing session on Wednesday at 7.30pm (and recordings of earlier sessions). If you are new to these groups, please be sure to answer the membership questions. |

Late Summer 2021 Online Socials
A wee reminder of all our online social activities for members over the next 8 weeks - up to half term break.
We have decided to alternate coffee/chat and Fun Friday week in week out to make sure our community networkers also have enough time to plan for other activities going forward and get in touch with members who are not able to participate online so much.
Contact your host each week for the link to join us via Teams. Email Mary if you haven't used Teams before but want to give it a go.
Weekly Coffee and Chat in the Summer Holidays
Although we are taking a short break from other online activities, our weekly informal coffee and chat sessions will continue right through the summer holidays.
