Get to know the Lossie Team

Forres & Lossie Senior Youth Worker

Hi everyone, my name is Gary Simpson, I am the Senior Youth Worker for Forres and Lossiemouth, this also includes Dyke, Alves, Dallas, Logie.

I am currently based in the Lodge at Forres Academy with my colleague Michaella Henderson, you can often find us in the main school building as we regularly in The Hub, Library or canteen.

I have been a youth worker for over 25 years working with young people from many different parts of Scotland but moved to Moray nearly 6 years ago with my family, I have 3 children and 5 grandchildren who all live nearby.

I now live in Kinloss, my hobbies include fishing, working on cars and motorbikes, DIY, being involved in live music, I used to play drums in a band and outdoor activities.

My job is to support young people by delivering activity sessions, transition support, wider achievement, support youth groups, and chat about any wellbeing issues you may have.

I am looking forward to meeting with you.

Lossie Youth Worker

Hi I’m Tracy, Youth worker at Lossie High School.

The part of the day I most look forward to is in the evening when I work on a ridiculously difficult (i.e. s-l-o-w) jigsaw, listening to radio 2 with my dogs snoring contentedly beside me.  My 3 kids are grown up, so I have time now to enjoy kayaking along with my baby sis on her paddle board.  Last year I started snorkelling and plan to follow the West Coast snorkel trail when things get back to normal

I was a seafarer before being a youth worker, so I am really keen to encourage young people to go for their personal goals, making the most of any support available to them as they make steps towards the life they want for themselves. 

My own life goals are to finish my studying, continue to nurture my well-being, physical and mental, and in a few years, adopt an elderly pug.
