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.

Keith & Buckie Senior Youth Worker

Hi this is a little story all about me!

My name is Lynne, I’m part of the Youth Engagement Team.

I’m based at Keith Grammar and Buckie High School as the Senior Youth Worker.

My office is in the community centre but may be accessed via the school ( beside the PE Dept) it’s called the Kiltbase and next to reception at Buckie. You may wish to come along at break, lunch or after school, there may be times I pop into your class. I enjoy getting to know and supporting young people whether you need support or maybe are looking to get involved in any volunteering or even start up a group!

Some of my groups just like to chat! Some like to be arty! Some like to bring awareness around a topic that is passionate to them… groups can help with confidence, friendships, feelings and so much more! I can offer advice, support or just be that person you can have a blether with!

I can also support you with wider achievement awards get in touch to find out more!

Things I enjoy are my family, definitely Netflix and most of all my dog! I love going on holidays preferably hotter climates! If you ever need to get in contact you

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!
