Ganavan Cash for Kids Fun Day

Oban Timebank went along to the fun day on Ganavan Sands as part of the Bicentennial celebrations and had a whale of a time. Everyone had the opportunity to join in with lots of activities as well as meeting others in their local area and it was fantastic to see so many people sharing the lovely weather together.


Open Day – Oban

 

Thank you to all our old and many new friends who took time to come and see us  for our open day at our new premises in High St.  This office allows us to offer a dedicated space to allow volunteers to access learning bytes as well as a meeting room.  Should any organisation require “hot desk” facilities please contact our office for details on how we may be able to assist.
