Increase understanding and knowledge for staff and volunteers in the organisation. Have they had disability inclusive training? This can build confidence and knowledge about disability which is key to understanding and addressing the barriers disabled volunteers face.

Moray Veterans- Touring workshops- a season of workshop events at different rural/remote locations on a theme relevant to all.  

Include a creative activity when meeting 

Good to have a place to find potential collaboration partners. Good location as local 

Targeted topics- look at specific locations, funds, opportunities and explore tangible possibilities together 

What would Wild Things like to gain from involvement? Ideas/ opportunities to work with people on a mental health wellbeing theme and/or creative artistic theme, outdoors, beyond the more predominately ecological work we do with people outdoors at the moment. 

Longer term funded projects for communities- raw from community members.  

May require more time for presentations.  

How can we take this to socially isolated? Pluscarden clinic? Neurodiverse? 

More hands on creative processes connect and exchange using our practice and skills 

Connection via social Media 

What could Wild Things contribute? Support logistics to get people outdoors, advice on how to work with groups out in the woods/ along the coast.  

A formal building directory 
Gain network funding 

Opportunity to hear and see what people are up to 

To make (tag-lex?) more accessible 

Space to share our own plans/projects and to reachout for engagement 

Place to pitch ideas for collaboration/ discussion topics 

More time to hear all voices 

Collaboration with other creatives and creative organisations.  

Involving rural communities out with Forres/ Elgin/ Findhorn area 

Ease of finding out what is on in Moray 

Spread further into other parts of Moray 

Link people who are aimed at certain areas or ages 

What is already happening? - digital profiles of artists 

Look at what is happening globally in this area and ask them to contribute to aid the way forward.  

Meeting different organisations in a non-formal setting worked well 

Relaxed atmosphere 

Space to discuss presentations 

In every meeting an OFFLINE space or time.  

A good group of people that want to connect 

Lots of great talks and information and connections 

Great to hear what’s going on in the area. Learn a few things too, thank you.  

Attitude 

Great opportunity to network 

Meeting people/professionals from circles that i don't usually mix in but may have interesting perspective to apply in my work.  

Might be good to dedicate some time to letting us chat with those we’d like to connect with  

Perhaps some interactive aspect to the meeting 

Meet in nature  

Not sitting so well 

Neurodivergent is not just perception, if it is sensory- more people are becoming electromagnetic radio frequency aware and suffer intense pain, vertigo, nausea, ear pain, and tinnitus, burning throat and skin SILENTLY. This is a neurological state and manifests as anxiety etc. Which it is not. I would like to see this organisation more considerate of this as many now are. I am a trauma trained therapist and have worked with many, many ‘neurodivergent’ children and adults. 

Warm up/ ice-breaker- on smaller groups to begin with 

No fruit 

Not enough time to talk with everyone here 

To hear what's going on in Moray rather than Highland 

More time to workshop creatively with each other. Less talking about the network itself.
