the charity is called mbvs (moray befriendin voluntary service) w get 2gether every 3rd wed of the month 2 do activities eg bingo + card makin. it has been on the go 4 13 years, my mum has been involved since the start i used 2 help out when i could but in lst 5 years iv been a volunteer im fundraising co-ordinator an help with the drivin.
5 years ago was when my condition started takin hold of me my mum said gettin out with the group would help me 2.
i would definetly recommend it, it's givin me a purpose in life, it's such a gd group of people all with different disabilities+ personalities.
the only prob is keepin maself goin between the sessions. i hope this helps xx

Hi I live in Burghead been here nearly 12 years but have been so ill since I got here I havent managed to make friends or build up a social circle. Can you give me any details you may have of clubs, support groups etc. I understand there is a fibro group in Elgin do either of you go?
I used to do voluntary work a few years back, that was befriending where we were given a client that we visited each week, mainly the elderly.
