Learning and skills

The National Rural Mental Health Forum, run by the mental health charity Change Mental Health, continues its online seminars tackling some of the pressing issues in rural communities.

Lanarkshire Community Led Local Development (CLLD) are taking a new approach to support rural communities by working in partnership with the Rebel Business School.

In there words below:

What is the Rebel Business School?

Welcome to Rebel Business School – where we do business education differently.

Treeline is a family-run forestry business based on a Pentland hill farm near West Linton in the Scottish Borders, who provide woodland management and contracting services as well as supplying high quality woodfuel and forestry machinery.     

Join them or a farm walk (followed by hot soup) to hear from farmer-foresters Gavin and Nick Marshall on topics including: 

Are you considering agritourism? Or a new rural tourism business? Or rural food and drink business?

Are you in the planning process or build process? Or you have been open or trading for 6 months or under.

Join a small group going through the same, facilitated by Caroline Millar to gain support and share experiences. This is a monthly online support meeting.

Starting at Macbeth’s Butchers which is a family run business that provides high quality meat products throughout the UK.

In the main, the beef is provided from their own farm, Edinvale, in upland Moray where they rear traditional Scottish native breeds. These are reared in as an extensive, natural environment as possible being fed grass, home grown hay or silage and no growth promoters. Macbeth's also supply a full range of pork and lamb from local farms with a similar philosophy. Macbeth's venison and game is also sourced locally.

If you are a parent or carer of a young neurodivergent person, or are under 25 and neurodivergent, ICON Moray would like to invite you to explore their new web resource. You can do this anytime by visiting https://discoverpathwaysmoray.org.uk/neurodiversity-pathways/ or join them in person at our launch event.

The Moray Wellbeing Hub project needs your ideas on what works for you, and those you care about, to live life to the full. They aim to create new community and virtual spaces that welcome everyone to live more mentally healthy lives, as well as support existing ones to connect and grow, reaching out across Moray to diverse communities and groups.
