💚 International Stress Awareness Week – Active Recovery ➕️ 💚

This week marked the launch of our brand-new Active Recovery ➕️ programme, and what a fantastic start we've had!

Despite the cold weather and dark evening, we were delighted to welcome 16 participants to this week's session, including 1 new face joining us for the very first time at the Gleaner Arena! 👏

As this week is International Stress Awareness Week, we took the opportunity to get everyone thinking about the importance of mental wellbeing. Before heading out onto the pitch, participants were invited to reflect on and answer a question linked to stress awareness.

It's a great reminder that looking after our health isn't just about being physically active. Taking time to connect with others, getting involved in physical activity and creating a positive environment can all play an important part in supporting our mental wellbeing. 💚

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, especially those joining us for the first time. It's fantastic to see the programme getting off to such a positive start!

Here's to keeping active, supporting one another and making Active Recovery ➕️ a great success! ⚽🙌

Football, Fresh Air and Feeling Good! ⚽️🌬️

Well done to the 24 individuals who turned up for a game of football today, despite the blustery weather! 👏

On arrival, we asked everyone how they were feeling, then asked the same question again after the session. It was fantastic to see that every single person reported feeling great afterwards! 😊

It’s a lovely reminder of the positive impact getting active, spending time outdoors and connecting with others can have on our wellbeing. 💙

This is just one of the ways we record the impact of our Active Recovery Moray sessions and celebrate the difference they make.

Well done, everyone! ⚽️💪

📢 Facility Update

The Astro surface on The Gleaner Arena’s South Court is being replaced, with work beginning on Monday 26th October and expected to take approximately two weeks.

We anticipate minimal disruption, with some training sessions moving to the other court during this period. We’ll keep you informed of any changes to arrangements or session cancellations.

🅿️ The car park will be out of bounds throughout the works, as it will be used to store machinery and materials. The remaining space must be kept clear to allow access for emergency services. Please use alternative parking nearby and avoid blocking any access points.

A special thank you to all the clubs and groups who use the pitch for their flexibility and support in accommodating these temporary arrangements while these improvements take place.

We look forward to welcoming everyone onto the new surface soon! ⚽️
