  • Address the whole Isle of Mull, delivering unique 3-word address plaques to the homes of 2,667 inhabitants in a world first healthcare response
  • Spearhead a community outreach programme to promote the benefits this new addressing system brings to their lives

Content

  • A hero video introduced the context and scope of the activity and followed the team of volunteers and fleet of vehicles on their mission to deliver a 3-word address to every house on the island
