Mitch our Volunteering Development Officer has been at Lossiemouth High School this week, speaking with young people about volunteering...

After running a survey earlier this year, we’re now checking back in to see what’s changed and what support group and organisations need now.

Conversations like this, along with your feedback, all help build a clearer picture of volunteering support in Moray...

If you’ve got a few minutes, we’d really appreciate you taking part 👇

This story is a reminder of something bigger.

Funding matters, but it isn’t a quick fix.

We were pleased that the Moray Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund could support Moray Girls Football Club .

But the real change is being driven every day by people like Joanne Moore and the team around Moray Girls Football Club, who keep creating opportunities where they didn’t exist before.

In Moray, there is demand for girls football. There is talent. There is commitment.
What’s missing is a place to call home.

If you can help, or know someone who can, please get in touch with Moray Girls FC and be part of building the next chapter.

Read their story below and find out how to support.

"At the heart of it, volunteering makes me feel like a person bigger than myself...and that is something really special."
