| 15. The Moray Way Association - Establishing
the Moray Way |
| The
county of Moray is bounded by three major walking routes. The
Speyside Way, as a National Long Distance path is presently
maintained statutorily by Moray Council, who have also promoted the
Moray Coast Trail. The Dava Way has been pioneered, opened and
run by a charity company consisting entirely of volunteers.
This project aims to bring relevant parts of the above paths into
the framework of a continuous circular route of just less than 100
miles which will become increasingly attractive for outdoor pursuits
from casual leisure on the one hand, to outdoor rugged activities on
the other. LEADER funding will help to create a definitive
map, guide book and website with appropriate press publicity and
also clarification and rationalisation of existing signage, with
provision of new signage and map boards where appropriate. |

Grampian Partnership Against Wildlife Crime - Wildlife Crime Education
Officer |
| LEADER will help fund
the creation of a Wildlife Crime Education Officer post based in
Grampian. Wildlife Crime can appear in many guises and there are
identified national wildlife crime priorities which help to focus crime
reduction on certain high volume (for example hare coursing) or high
impact (for example theft of fresh water pearl mussels). Grampian
area, in particular Aberdeenshire and Moray, do reflect the full range of
national wildlife crime priorities. There are a range of enforcement
and intelligence options targeted towards enforcement, this project
compliments these options by raising awareness of what constitutes legal,
and illegal activity and, seeks to reinforce the value of biodiversity to
our rural economy. This post will develop and implement an
educational programme to raise awareness of wildlife crime with particular
reference tot he Curriculum for Excellence. It will also develop and
implement a programme of awareness raising in the wider public,
communities and in particular land managers in all sectors such as
fishing, forestry and farming. |

Moray Cricket Association - Community Cricket Development |
| LEADER funding will help
towards the creation of a Community Cricket Development Coach for
Moray. At present the Clubs do not have available qualified coaches
to deliver school/community sessions due to work commitments. It is
the intention of the MCA to employ a part-time Community Cricket Coach to
deliver fun, fundamental sessions focussing on basic cricket activities
and those skills associated with physical literacy, on behalf of the Clubs
to local schools. The Coach would also organise local festivals in
conjunction with cricket clubs to provide a finale to the coaching
programme and a chance for the young people to 'compete' against other
schools either through games or skills challenges. To ensure the
sustainability of the project, an element of this project will include
coach and volunteer development. Coaches will be recruited from the
clubs to attend Level 1 coaching qualifications so that they are able to
provide activity within their own club and also provide the
school/community sessions in the long term. Current coaches will
also be encouraged to obtain higher qualifications to improve the quality
of coaching. Other volunteers will be recruited to increase the
number of qualified umpires and scorers, vital roles, to sustain the
future of cricket in Moray. Teachers would also undergo in service
training in delivering the National Introductory programme so that they
can deliver activity and hit targets within the Curriculum for
Excellence. To support this, the coach would produce easy, fun
lesson plans for the teachers to implement once they have attended the
training. The new Community Coach would also act as a mentor to the
newly qualified coaches to develop their skills and ensure that their
delivery is safe, effective and child friendly. |

The Moray Textile Project - Diversification Project |
| Keith has a long history
of textiles with many once employed in the industry and the Moray Textile
Project incorporating the Keith Kilt School (MTP) is working hard to
inspire the communities' interest in this part of their heritage.
MTP would now like to diversify to enable them to involve an even wider
number and range of the community in working with textiles and offer them
the opportunity to learn new skills and techniques incorporating the old
alongside the newer and modern skills. MTP are currently completing
a Threads of History Project part funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund,
Moray Council and HIE and it is as a result of this project and the
interest shown that they would now like to purchase with the help of
LEADER funding; a long arm quilter, an embroidery machine, a felting
machine, starter materials, marketing and promotional materials and to
employ sessional tutors to teach the use of the new equipment. This
will help MTP to facilitate new job creation through professional
skills/marketing training, to inspire and motivate people of all ages and
experiences to equip them with the skills and resources to navigate their
own route on a professional path and to improve access for adults to an
encouraging, inspirational and practical forum in order to re-hone, and
understand and meet the demands of this new technological world with more
confidence. |

Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society - Developing Innovative
Tourism |
| This project will
allow the WDCS Wildlife Centre to model cutting-edge yet
environmentally sound tourism so that rural communities east of Spey
Bay will profit from the Centre's success. As a result of
providing a visitor experience which will be unique to Moray and not
found elsewhere in the UK, Moray's eastern communities will be best
placed to engage with the emerging wildlife tourist industry.
New educational exhibitions will extend innovative ways of engaging
visitors with a range of technologies and engagement. There
will be new ways to access information both in the Centre, the Ice
House and the surrounding site.
The 'Dry Dive' will surround
visitors with laser light images of underwater threats to marine
life, particularly the resident dolphin population, which is
affected by noise pollution, inadvertent strikes by boats and unsafe
and even dangerous water vehicle management, within the historic Ice
House. Visitors will hear and see a simulated underwater
environment all around them so that they can better understand how dolphins
and other marine animals are affected by the range of
man-made noises and physical threats.
Spey Bay's salmon fishing
industry will be documented in a new display with voices of those
directly linked to the history along with photographs and personal
stories.
Visitors will be able to watch
dolphins within the Centre via a webcam, making it possible to watch
the dolphins from the Centre, during bad weather and it will be
possible to watch recorded sightings. Outdoor displays will
interpret the marine environment and WDCS community outreach work
will be carried out through a mobile unit.
The thriving volunteer
programme at the Centre will expand to enlist volunteers from
communities east of Spey Bay, bringing skills for supporting and
sustaining the wildlife tourist attractions in Moray. A new
post will be required to coordinate the increased number of
volunteers, 20 or more during peak months. Volunteers range
from those working around the site through Community Service to
those delivering education programmes.
Completion of a marketing
strategy by a local agency belonging to the Moray Tourism
Development Group will underpin a number of planned projects,
including regional promotion, web design improvements, printed
advertising, road signage, public events and strategic membership
which will be phased over time. The success of these
activities will be monitored by routinely collected visitor
feedback. |

Hopeman Community Association - Hopeman Pavillion |
| This project will provide the community with a permanent facility for sports clubs and community groups. The proposed new pavilion at Cameron Park will incorporate two sets of changing rooms, referee’s changing facilities, associated showers and toilets, a kitchen, club room and sufficient storage space for the various clubs and community groups that will use the sports ground on a regular basis. The provision of changing facilities and a kitchen will allow the various user groups to invite other clubs to compete in games, festivals and tournaments and generally promote their sport in the local area. The provision of a club room will allow the various user groups a base to identify with and a location to plan training sessions, deal with administrative duties and hold coach and committee meetings. The proposed storage space will allow the clubs to access equipment vital to training sessions and skills development. It will also allow the widening of the number of sports that can be accessed at the Park, particularly by the school. Once the pavilion is open for use, it will be available for hire 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. A booking system shall be put in place which will allow the maximum access to all clubs and community groups as well as members of the public. |

Miltonduff Village Hall Committee - Community Sports Hub |
| This project seeks to develop Miltonduff Village Hall into a community sports hub. The wooded areas adjacent to the hall, including Monaughty Wood, and relatively quiet roads make the a hall a good staging post for clubs that use the natural environment for their main activity (as opposed to clubs that require man-made facilities). The aim is to develop the facilities of the hall to enable it to host a number of organisations engaged in activities such as cycling (road and mountain biking clubs), running (cross country, road & orienteering clubs), outdoor adventurous activities and qualifications training (Outfit Moray – a local outdoor activity provider). The development of facilities within the hall will include up-grading the floor, restrooms (including addition of showers), kitchen refurbishment, and a lighting and heating upgrade. There will also be the addition of covered bicycle storage and re-working of existing outdoor storage to accommodate sports equipment. By bringing organisations with broadly shared interests and activities together it is expected they will benefit from each others’ knowledge and experience, particularly in the areas of youth development and recruitment. |

Transition Towns Forres - Education Centre |
| TTF wish to convert the pavilion on the land into a multi-purpose community base as a launchpad for delivering pioneering transition activities. Not only will the building be used for all of TTFs innovative activities, it will also enable them to better engage with the community. The interior space will become flexible enough to enable TTF to hold a range of educational classes and workshops. It will contain a kitchen, a mobile demonstration kitchen for 'plot to plate' cookery demonstrations, and flexible open area for use as a food serving area and meeting/workshop space. There will also be limited space for local food and craft sales. Once converted, the pavilion will provide meeting/exhibition space not only for TTF, but also organisations whose activities are related, such as the Transition Network, Community Food and Health Scotland, Moray Social Enterprise Network, Forres in Bloom, Forres Scouts, Forres Health and Well Being Group, and Forres Make and Mend group. |

Burghead Headland Trust - Visitor Centre Upgrade |
| The
aims of the Trust are to increase the number of visitors to Burghead
by providing a unique visitor experience and thus encourage visitors
to stay longer. In order
to improve the present visitor experience, the LEADER grant will go
towards upgrading the Visitor Centre by extending it to add an
indoor viewing area and toilet facilities. The new viewing area will
mean that visitors can enjoy views over the Moray Firth in the
shelter of the Visitor Centre. The
interpretation will also be extended to cover more fishing and
natural heritage displays in order to teach more groups including
school groups.
