Over the past year, Laura has been attending training sessions and is now fully qualified to deliver Love to Move seated gymnastics sessions in partnership with Phoenix Gymnastics Club, Forfar.

The sessions are such a wonderful way to get everyone moving, challenge their brains, and most importantly, have lots of fun and laughter together!

A huge thank you to Phoenix Gymnastics Club for joining us today and for supporting this fantastic community partnership. We’re so proud to be part of such a positive link with a local club, that brings people together and helps make a real difference.

Here’s to many more sessions filled with movement, friendship, and plenty of laughter! 💙✨

🌿 We are looking forward to welcoming Outside the Box to Lochside Connections on Tuesday for a day of Climate Wisdom activities! 🌿

In the morning, we'll be making wreaths together. If any of our Tuesday members have a flower that is special to them and would like to include it in their wreath, please bring it along with you.

In the afternoon, we'll be getting creative and building bug hotels! 🐞🐝 If you have any pine cones, moss, sticks, or other natural materials in your garden that you'd be happy to donate, we'd be very grateful.

We're looking forward to a fun, creative day connecting with nature and each other. See you on Tuesday! 🌼🌳

Davidson Legacy Cottage 🏍️🤘

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of visiting Davidson’s Legacy Cottage and what a wonderful day it was!

The staff and volunteers were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We enjoyed tea, coffee, and biscuits while learning more about the cottage and its history.

It was a lovely day out, filled with great conversation, warm hospitality, and plenty of interesting information. A huge thank you to everyone involved for making our visit so enjoyable. We would highly recommend a visit to anyone looking for a friendly and enriching experience!

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

After months of speculation, we're delighted to announce that Lochside Connections’ very own Steve Clark has been appointed Scotland manager and will be leading the national team to the World Cup! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚽

Sources say his selection policy is simple:
✅ Anyone who turns up on time gets a cap
✅ Tea breaks are mandatory
✅ The team bus now leaves at 8am sharp whether you're on it or not

We're all incredibly proud and wish him and the lads the very best as they prepare to bring the trophy home! 🏆

(Just in case anyone is already phoning the SFA... THIS IS A JOKE)

We’ve been delighted to welcome Murton Farm, Tearoom and Nature Reserve on a couple of occasions recently as part of our Climate Wisdom Project.

Together, we’ve enjoyed getting creative and making a variety of items for our garden, including decorative pigs and fish, as well as bird feeders to encourage wildlife into our outdoor space. We also had the opportunity to create some beautiful leather notebook binders, learning new skills along the way.

A huge thank you to Peter from Murton for their support, creativity, and enthusiasm. Our members thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, and we’re looking forward to seeing the finished creations brighten up our garden for months to come!
