Instawalks

Instawalks turn photography into a collective shared activity. A group of people meeting to explore a place or route together.

Instawalks will have a different theme for each route. The young people will be asked to take snapshots along the walk and post with a specific #Hashtag.

Photos of individuals will be shared with their permission only.

Elgin Academy will have groups walking every Monday and Thursday.

You can book onto an Instawalk using the QR code on our program OR using this link.

Elgin Youth Worker

Hi everyone,

 

 

I’m Marc Doherty and I’ve been with the team for around 9 years.

I have lived in Elgin most of my life but moved to Glasgow for a short time while I completed my Degree in Performing Arts. Soon after returning to Elgin I found my way into Youth work.

I’m a gadget geek and have been known to own some ridiculous things ( Wendy will vouch for that) I love horror movies and my PS4 (soon to be PS5)

I own a 3 year old French Bulldog named Ozzy and can often be seen out walking him, feel free to say hi if you ever spot us.

I look forward to working with some of you in the future.

Elgin Senior Youth Worker

Hi folks,

My name is Wendy Toner and I’ve been a youth worker for over 33 years here in Elgin.

 

I really enjoy groupwork more than any other kind of youthwork. It can be great fun, with a fair bit of learning in there too. That’s the beauty of youthwork, a lot of the time it’s so much fun you don’t realise you are learning!

I live in New Elgin, where I was born. I have two children who are now grown adults. My daughter went to Elgin High School and my son went to Elgin Academy, many years ago now.

I have two dogs! A little Lhasa Apso called Daisy, who will be 16 on her birthday. And I also have a Cocker Spaniel who is 6 and her name is Morag.

When I am not doing Youth work I love walking and finding new routes to trek with my dogs. I really love walking in Scotland as its the most beautiful country in the world.
When I go on holiday my favourite place is a very small village called Calis, in Turkey.

I love to visit Turkey as the people are so friendly, the food is superb and the weather is so lovely.

So that’s a little about me, please say hi to me if I pass you by in a school corridor, or the corner shop! Or if your really nice, you could offer me a chip at lunchtime!
