🌼 March Update! 🌼

We’ve had a brilliant start since launching our SWI group last year, and we’re excited to keep that momentum going. A few people have asked what’s happening next, so here’s a quick update
and a chance to get involved if you’d like to help shape what comes next!

As you know, we’re still in the early stages of establishing the group, and it’s been wonderful to see all the interest around the new launch. Over the coming weeks, we’re encouraging anyone who might like to get more involved to let us know, whether that’s volunteering to be part of the initial organising group, sharing a skill, or simply lending a hand now and again as things begin to take shape. Every contribution, big or small, helps us build a vibrant, welcoming group from the very beginning.

If you have ideas, would like to volunteer in any capacity, or just want to chat about how you might get involved, we’d be very happy to hear from you.

All upcoming updates and events will be shared right here on our page and through our email mailing list, so you won’t miss anything.

If you’d like to help keep the energy going and volunteer (even just once!), we’d absolutely love to hear from you. Just send us a message or reply via email.

Let’s keep building something special together! ✨

✨ Exciting News for Argyll Women! ✨

We’re starting a brand-new Women’s Group in Dunoon – a space to connect, support one another, and enjoy activities together.

At our first information meeting on Saturday, we brainstormed ideas for events and activities, and the results were inspiring! 💡 We’ve turned those ideas into a word cloud so you can see the energy and creativity that’s already flowing.

🌸 From coffee mornings to book clubs, workshops to walks, there’s something for everyone and we're keen to hear your ideas too - comment below or send us a message.

👉 If you’d like to be part of shaping this group, drop us a message. Whether you’re looking for friendship, fun, or new opportunities, this is your chance to help build something special in our community.

Huge thank you to Dunoon Community Shed for accommodating our launch today 🙏

02/10/2025

We are very sorry to share that we've taken the decision to postpone our launch event originally scheduled for this Saturday - the safety and wellbeing of our community comes first, and with the Met Office weather warnings in place we believe this is the most responsible decision.

We are currently working to reschedule the event and will share the new date with you as soon as it is confirmed. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.

In the meantime, if you have any questions or would like to stay involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out at [email protected] or drop us a message here on Facebook. ❤️
