Lossiemouth Community Sports Hub
The Lossiemouth Community Sports Hub, working closely with Moray Council Active Schools Group, aims to encourage and facilitate sporting Clubs and activities for all ages and abilities.
The Sports Hub meets regularly for all participating Clubs to discuss and share the ongoing activities they have planned. The Clubs work together on creating group events such as the inaugural Seafest 5K fun run. Whilst Covid precluded any event in 2020, it is the aim of the Sports Hub to expand this for different abilities in the future.
You can find out more about Sports Hub through this website, contacting the Lossiemouth Community Development Trust or by contacting the Active Schools Group at Moray Council.
🧑🦽➡️Our East Beach wheelchair had its inaugural outing recently!
Do you know someone who would love to be able to access the beach? Could you help make it possible?
😄Here's Maggie, from Huntly, whose son and daughter arranged to take her out on the beach and make some memories with the dogs and grandson!
🌦️The weather was a little wild, but as you can see, she had a wonderful time!
💙 We'd like to offer lots more people with limited mobility the opportunity to access our beautiful East Beach, but to do that, we need a small group of volunteers to come forward.
We're looking for friendly people to:
✅Collect the chair from the LCDT office
✅Walk the chair down to the bridge
✅Meet and greet the user and their assistant
✅Explain how to use the chair safely, go through the paperwork and get signatures.
✅Meet the user afterwards and return the chair to the LCDT office, clean it and put it away.
❗Please note - you will not need to push anyone in the chair!
Users must be accompanied by someone who can push them over the soft sand.
☑️All training will be provided.
☑️There's no minimum commitment, but each booking will take around 2 hours.
☑️Hosts will be added to a WhatsApp group. Requests will be sent to the group a day in advance. If there's a host available, then we can accept the booking, and someone will get a trip to the beach!
📧 To find out more, or if you'd like to support this initiative, please message the page, email dto@lossietrust.org or drop a note through the door at LCDT office, 8A Pitgaveny St, Lossiemouth.
There will be an open meeting on Weds 30th April at 7pm in the LCDT office for anyone interested.
🙏Thank you in advance for coming forward. This is a new initiative from the Lossiemouth Community Development Trust, made possible by funding from the Boyd Anderson Trust, Diageo and the Lossiemouth community.

Isn't there also a chair located at the West Beach - housed at the Beach Hut premises?
Interested but can't attend meeting.
🌱 Our second Pop-up Potting Shed 🌱
We had nine gardeners here, sharing seeds and stories, swapping tips and tubs.
🪴 Some of our growers brought back seedlings from our first sowing last month, ready to be potted on.
Eventually, these herbs will be shared with the community in new planters in James Square.
🍄 We'd experimented with different compost types, funny to see what one had sprouted dozens of tiny mushrooms!
🌱 We also planted more seeds, succession sowing will ensure that our James Square beds are kept topped up as people pick the fresh herbs to use at home.
😀 This wonderful project brings together people with many levels of experience and confidence, to share skills, make new friends and enjoy learning about growing food.
💚One participant has even got her first paid gardening job through a new connection in the group!
🙏Our grateful thanks to Third Sector Interface Moray for funding this program through the Moray Communities Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund.
👋 If this sounds like the sort of thing you might enjoy, even if you know nothing about plants, join our Facebook group Lossie Growing Together and come along to our next meeting on the 13th May.
This has made our night -- growing has so much spin-off goodness!
It was a great afternoon
Third Sector Interface Moray, thank you so much for your funding towards this incredible project!
