Crafted with Care, Made with Purpose
At Moray Reach Out, every product we create is made with care, passion, and a true sense of purpose. From the initial idea to the final touches, our dedicated trainees, staff, and volunteers are at the heart of everything we do.
Our talented woodwork team give new life to reclaimed materials; we not only create beautiful handcrafted items but also promote sustainability.
We are also proud of our Art Yarn, crafted from start to finish using traditional techniques. From shearing the wool to teasing and spinning, every step is carried out with skill and dedication. Using fleece from local farmers, we create high-quality yarn that is truly special.
Every purchase supports our mission, empowering adults with learning disabilities through meaningful work and skill development. Thank you for being part of our journey.

Knowing where these go helps keep Moray’s recycling clean, safe, and effective ♻️
✅ Black bags: Do not place recyclables inside black bags. 🚫 Sealed bags cannot be safely opened for sorting and may be rejected. Always put items directly into the appropriate recycling bins 🗑️
✅ Soft plastics: Items like bread bags, crisp packets, sandwich wraps, cling film, and carrier bags cannot go in kerbside bins. 🚫 Use supermarket drop-off points or one of Moray’s recycling points and larger recycling centres ♻️
Join us for Day 5, and we’ll tell you how to safely handle sharp items and glass to protect our trainees and waste crews! 🔪🛡️

Never pour cooking oil down the sink, it can clog pipes and strain the drainage system. 🚫
In Moray, you have a couple of good options:
✅ Compost small amounts: If you have a home composting setup, small amounts of cooled, solidified fat or oil may be manageable (check your composting rules) 🌱♻️
✅ Take to a council recycling centre: Many of Moray’s recycling centres accept used cooking oil in dedicated containers 🏢http://www.moray.gov.uk/index.html
Join us for Day 4 which is all about soft plastics and black bags – discover the do’s and don’ts to keep Moray’s recycling clean and safe! 🛍️🖤♻️

Over the next 12 days, we’ll be sharing simple tips at noon each day to help you recycle smarter, reduce contamination, and support a cleaner, greener Moray. Small actions make a big impact, for our environment and for the trainees who work hard sorting your recycling at Moray Reach Out 💙

✅ Empty liquids: Before putting bottles, cans, or containers into your recycling bins, make sure they’re completely emptied. Leftover liquids can leak, contaminate other recyclables, and create slip hazards for our trainees and staff.
✅ Rinse items: A quick rinse removes leftover food or drink residue. Items don’t need to be spotless, just clean enough to prevent smells, pests, and contamination. This helps Moray’s recycling operations run smoothly and safely.
