In the heart of Scotland’s vibrant community lies a spirit of inclusivity and support that knows no bounds. This spirit was beautifully exemplified recently when Moray Reach Out and Moray Riding for the Disabled were honoured as Charities of the Year at Gordonstoun Junior School.
The recognition not only highlights the invaluable work we do but also the genuine appreciation and support we receive from the local community.
The celebration took centre stage at the Highland Games hosted by Gordonstoun Junior School, a day filled with joy, laughter, and goodwill. Families from far and wide gathered to partake in the festivities, which boasted an array of stalls, games, and spirited competitions.
The #juniorhighlandgamesatgordonstoun proved to be a resounding success, drawing participants and visitors alike from all corners of Scotland. It was a testament to the unity and camaraderie that permeates the region, where people come together to support noble causes and make a difference in the lives of others.
Moray Reach Out and Moray Riding for the Disabled embody the ethos of compassion and empowerment. Our dedication to enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities is unwavering, and it was heartening to see our efforts recognised and celebrated on such a grand scale.
As the day unfolded, it became evident that the spirit of generosity knows no bounds. The generosity of spirit extended not only to the charities being honoured but also to the numerous stallholders, visitors, and supporters who contributed to the cause. Together, they created an atmosphere of warmth and inclusivity that left a lasting impression on all who attended.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who visited our Moray Reach Out stall and eagerly participated in our games to raise money. Your enthusiasm and willingness to learn more about our cause truly warmed our hearts.
The true impact of the event lies not only in the funds raised but also in the sense of community and togetherness it fostered. It served as a powerful reminder of the importance of supporting one another and working collaboratively to create positive change in the world.
At Gordonstoun Junior School, core values like compassion, internationalism, service, achievement, resilience, responsibility, and teamwork are not just words but guiding principles. These values were truly showcased throughout the Highland Games, as students and participants embraced teamwork, resilience, and compassion while competing and supporting charitable causes.
As the sums raised for local charities are announced in due course, one thing remains abundantly clear: the spirit of giving and goodwill that permeated the #juniorhighlandgamesatgordonstoun will continue to resonate within the hearts and minds of all those who participated. It was indeed a fantastic day—a celebration of community, compassion, and the boundless potential for positive change.
