Touchdown Memorial Home for Horses is a charity that provides rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming for horses and ponies in need. We welcome volunteers at all levels in our work from trustees to admin, from fundraising and compliance to 'on the ground' opportunities such as yard work, field work, animal care, rehabilitation, education, work with young and older people. This is a great way to make new friends two and four legged, learn new skills and have fun in the open air in beautiful countryside.

The woodlands in and around Forres are highly valued community assets. Forres Community Woodlands Trust aims to utilise the potential of these woodlands to provide a wide range of community benefits. These include providing local people and visitors to the area with ready access to special places to enjoy peace and quiet, healthy exercise, education and recreation. Our vision, therefore, is to maintain and enhance the Trust’s woodlands as bio-diverse habitats which provide recreational and educational opportunities. Our volunteer activities take place mostly in our FCWT woods, that is either Sanquhar Wood or Muiry. On average we meet one Saturday morning each month from 10 to 12 o'clock and we carry out maintenance work, for example removing young foreign species with loppers and hand saws like rhododendron, sitka spruce or Douglas fir or we plant trees or cut back bracken. Our aim is to remove as many foreign species as possible and replace them with native trees.

Reach4Reality is a small charity working with autistic young people and young adults from across the Highlands involving them in short outdoor activity sessions tailored to their individual needs. As part of this we run regular weekend camps for small groups of young people/adults either at local outdoor activity centres or in self-catering accommodation and providing the activities ourselves. We are looking for Activity Volunteers to support us to continue to do this. Volunteers would take part in activities alongside the young people and support them generally during the social times (e.g. chatting, playing board games). Activities might include: walking, foundation trail biking, mountain biking, archery, canoeing, team challenges. On our self-catering weekends we are also looking for volunteers who would be able to assist with the catering for the group. We also run two 5 day camps/year (24-28.7.23 and 9-13.10.23) and would additionally welcome volunteers who would be able to join us for one of these.
