I am Outfit Moray's hard working mascot and kindly sponsored by School Bears UK! We also work closely with local groups for vulnerable young people.

I help young people people feel safe and calm on their outdoor adventures with Outfit Moray. Outfit Moray is changing lives of young people in Moray through outdoor learning and adventure activities, using the local breath-taking environment as our classroom and playground. With outdoor adventure activities such as rock climbing, surfing, canoeing, abseiling, mountain biking and much more we are also able to provide holiday and respite weeks for local vulnerable groups. We are able to support vulnerable and disadvantaged young people and actively develop potential, helping shape their future lives with outdoor learning and adventure activities. The majority of Outfit Moray’s work is with school groups from Moray, working throughout the school term year. We work with groups of up to six or eight children (depending on support required) and our activities can be completely tailored to target different groups’ developmental and behavioural needs. Our work naturally supports the Curriculum for Excellence Health and Well-being Experiences and Outcomes across all stages, especially the mental and emotional well-being; social well-being; physical well-being; movement skills, competencies and concepts; cooperation and competition; and evaluating and appreciating experiences. We also explore the importance of nutrition and safe and hygienic practices when outdoors, as well as many of the other Experiences and Outcomes such as Literacy across Learning: tools for listening and talking; and understanding, analysing and evaluating. Outfit Moray can run anything from a one-off activity day; to a full-term of activities, building skills with a particular group. Examples of what they provide includes:
One-to-one development opportunities
A progressive programme of multiple activities
Go Mountain Bike progressive achievement award
Paddle Power canoeing progressive achievement award
Duke of Edinburgh canoeing and mountain biking expeditions

Outfit Moray can provide you, your school, group or family with a life enhancing outdoor experience, both through our commercial adventure days and our fully funded charity work with local schools and groups for vulnerable young people.

My buddy Belay Caribena is off on his holidays again, and this time he's off to Harris in the Outer Hebrides.

To get there, he went on the amazing turntable ferry from Glenelg to Skye, which is the world’s last surviving manually operated turntable ferry, and enjoyed the beautiful views as they travelled up to Uig for the ferry to Harris.

Where do you think he should visit while he's there?

It was Cairngorm to Coast with Outfit Moray last weekend, which meant I got to keep catch up with my buddies, Belay Robertson and Biker Belay Marsay.

Belay Robertson was helping at a checkpoint and Biker Belay Marsay travelled the whole route from Cairngorm to Lossiemouth as a back marker, and then went back to Cairngorm again to help Adrian raise funds for Outfit Moray!

I have just come back from another week long residential with Outfit Moray at Kincraig!

These residentials give the young people opportunities to learn a variety of outdoor adventure skills in a residential setting and are designed to inspire new confidence and give them a chance to have fun, try new things, get involved in outdoor learning, be creative and form positive childhood memories.

Thank you to RS MacDonald Charitable Trust, Hugh Fraser Foundation and Mugdock Children's Trust for their long-term funding for these vital residentials, and to Arnold Clark Car & Van Rental in Elgin for donating the hire of a van for the week.

Finally, a special thank you to Chris from School Bears for donating one of my clones to each particular as a reminder of everything they achieved during the week.

Oh and to Isla for keeping me safe and dry 😘

School Bears generously donated some of my cuddly clones for the young people on our October residential so they would have a reminder of everything they achieved over their 5 days with us.

I managed to get a few photos of them enjoying adventures and some food (they are my clones after all) before they headed off to their new homes.

🐻 Don't forget, there's more of my adventurous, cuddly clones waiting for new homes, so if you are looking for the perfect gift idea, please head to my shop and help me raise funds for Outfit Moray, thanks to the generosity of School Bears UK.

Happy Halloween 🎃

Did you know that, like many ancient festivals, Hallowe'en has its roots in Scotland's pre-Christian culture?

Communities would come together to celebrate Samhain and mark the dying of the light and the coming of the dark (end of summer, start of winter).

It was believed that, by disguising the children as malicious spirits, they would blend in with any wandering spirits and remain safe from harm. This is where we get the term 'guising' from, which is what we say in Scotland instead of trick or treating.

🐻 My adventurous, cuddly clones are waiting for new homes, so if you are looking for the perfect gift idea, please head to my shop and help me raise funds for Outfit Moray, thanks to the generosity of School Bears UK.

Huge thank you to Chris at School Bears for another supply of Belay Bear clones for this Outfit Moray's residential participants to take home.

Their Belays will remind of them of everything they achieved over 5 days of outdoor learning and adventure and will be a cuddly confidence boost in years to come.

I love my job as Outfit Moray's mascot!

I've been so busy on outdoor activities with Outfit Moray and their young people that haven't had much time to post, but I really want to tell you about my recent amazing adventure!

As you know, I am normally helping young people and providing a fluffy ear to talk to if they are feeling anxious or shy, but that doesn't mean I can't help adults too, even if I have to jump out of an airplane, which is what I did at the end of September!

A group of brave supporters were taking part in a skydive for Outfit Moray and they asked me to come with them, so I said yes.

We didn't know if I would be able to take part, as it's not something School Bears usually do, but Skydive St Andrews made me a special harness and I was attached to Outfit Moray's admin and comms manager, so I could share her parachute.

I loved the flight up and enjoyed looking out of the window, although I didn't realise quite how high 10,000ft would feel!

Karen needed lots of extra hugs before we jumped, but I didn't mind because I was a little nervous too; that was a long way up for a little bear like me, but I just kept thinking about all the young people we work with and how brave they are on their outdoor learning and adventure activities.

Karen held on to me very tightly all the way down, which was good because we were sharing a parachute, so I didn't want to get separated and, before I knew it, we were back on solid ground!

It was an amazing experience and I'm so grateful to Karen and all the team for letting me take part and to help them raise funds for Outfit Moray!

If you think I'm brave, please sponsor me via Karen's fundraising page! Thank you ❤️

I'm all checked in and getting a good night's sleep ready for a busy day with the skydive tomorrow!

I am really hoping someone will sneak me on the plane so I can do the skydive too, but I'm also hoping some of you will sponsor one of the team!

Belay Caribena on his holidays to Orkney and was very excited when their ferry was diverted via Scapa Flow due to the weather.

So far he's visited the Stones at Stenness, the fossil museum, The Gloup which a collapsed sea cave and the Brough of Deerness,.

Belay Caribena wasn't keen on the steep, narrow path at the Brough of Deerness, but the chain to hang onto convinced him to give it a go.

🐻 For just £10, you could have your own adventurous Belay to share photos of, and you'll be helping me raise vital funds for Outfit Moray at the same time, thanks to the generosity of School Bears UK. Please click the link below to visit my shop
