Telecoms Network – is your emergency equipment ready? The official switchover deadline is just around the corner
Webinar date: Thursday 9th July 2026, 11am – 12 noon
The UK’s telecoms network is turning off traditional analogue landlines (PSTN) and switching over to a faster digital network.
While the official deadline for this change is January 2027, the network switch-offs are already taking place across the UK, potentially impacting almshouses with little notice. As a result, old analogue telecare equipment is silently failing.
Time is running out. Managing this transition can be a burden for independent charities and voluntary boards, especially when dealing with older, historic, or listed buildings.
This webinar, hosted by Appello, a provider in digital telecare, will take trustees and clerks through the risks of not addressing the change and the simple, affordable options available to help keep residents safe.

Appello has already supported independent charities through this transition, having recently worked alongside Salisbury City Almshouse and Welfare Charities, upgrading their historic properties with digital-ready warden call systems and analogue-to-digital converters to ensure their residents remain fully protected.
