Formed in 2014, Lossiemouth Community Development Trust (LCDT) is a Scottish charity based in Lossiemouth, on the beautiful Moray Coast.
Our projects focus on place and infrastructure in the town. We support the regeneration and improvement of facilities in Lossiemouth, and we support other community groups who seek to to the same. Find out about our projects.
We are an independent community-owned and led, membership organisation, governed by a voluntary board of trustees. We have two part-time staff and are supported by a team of cheery volunteers. Would you like to get involved?
Our strategy is developed through regular engagement with the people of Lossiemouth and strong relationships with other local stakeholders in order to create sustainable and effective change. Have your say!

☀️Today is the last day of the summer season for the Visitor Information Centre.
👋😀We've had another successful year, welcoming many visitors - and locals - providing a friendly face to help them get the most from their stay.
🫖Yesterday, we celebrated with some of the volunteers, enjoying cake and tea together.
There were some lovely stories of people we've met over the summer, from all over the world. And a few stories of some of the more unusual characters and requests! 🤭
🐣The VIC will be back next Easter. Until then, once again, a huge thank you to everyone who has so warmly and generously given their time and knowledge to be part of this voluntary service.
🙏Particular thanks to Janet and Donna for leading the project for the third year.
If you'd like to be involved next year, please email dto@lossietrust.org

Well done everyone 🙏

Summer’s nearly over, but that doesn’t mean your glow has to disappear with it.
As the evenings get darker and autumn starts to creep in, it’s the perfect time to top up your tan and keep that gorgeous summer colour going for a little longer.
Heading away on holiday? Get bronzed before you go.
Already had your summer holiday? Keep that tan topped up.
Missing that sunshine feeling? Treat yourself to some Glow Spa time and bring a little warmth back into your week.

A foraging trip to a beautiful woodland near by ended up with purple fingers and a pot overflowing with Blaeberries (the Scottish word for Bilberries). Similar to blueberries but smaller and tarter, these wee berries are perfect to use in baking and jams. Our homemade jam is absolutely delicious spread on hot buttery toast. I plan to freeze some of the blaeberries to bake with later in the year as well!

RAF Lossiemouth - great to see all the action yesterday (Monday 17th Aug). The rafredarrows were overnighting here after a long trip back from North America. Watching them take off in 3’s was spectacular.
And very happy with my first afterburner shot of one of the Typhoons 🛩️

👕 From blank... to branded.
This week's project was creating T-shirts for Moray Training Club in Lossiemouth.
There's something really satisfying about watching a plain garment become something people will wear with pride.
It's not just a logo.
It's belonging.
It's community.
It's an everyday reminder that you're part of something bigger.
✨ That's what I love creating.

Monday Motivation | Student Spotlight
This Monday, we’re celebrating Eilidh Regan, a 1st Dan Black Belt at Sansum Martial Arts.
Lossiemouth’s Eilidh has been training in martial arts from a very young age. She started her journey in point fighting before joining Sansum Martial Arts, where she began a new chapter and worked her way towards her Black Belt. Training in both the Sansum clubs in Lossiemouth and Elgin.
Eilidh the kind of student every instructor is proud to have. She balances her studies, training and competitions with incredible consistency, while always arriving with a smile and a positive attitude.
She has also delivered fantastic performances at karate competitions across the UK, showing the same dedication and commitment both inside and outside the dojo.
This year, Eilidh takes another big step as she heads to university. We have no doubt that the discipline, resilience and work ethic she has developed through martial arts will continue to serve her well.
Eilidh , you are a true role model student. Your journey, commitment and attitude make us incredibly proud.
Congratulations on earning your Black Belt. Well done! 🥋👏

ORANGE & CARDAMOM... 🍊🧡
A new recipe in the Shed this week, I have only eaten orange and cardamom cake, never tried baking it! This is my first attempt. Its super orangy with that warm cardamom kick, not too sweet and full of flavour. I will definitely be baking this again, possibly with a few tweaks to perfect it!
Let me know if you enjoy it!

DICK ’N’ JIM OOT & ABOOT… CHIPPY EDITION!
This time we were Oot & Aboot in Lossie and, well… when you’re by the seaside, it would be downright rude not to have a chippy.
So off we went to galleyojewel for the important business of fish, chips and a good old-fashioned feed. And judging by the size of that fish… they certainly weren’t messing aboot!
Crispy batter ✔️
A mountain of chips ✔️
Two hungry boys ✔️
Absolutely nae intention of leaving any ✔️
Sometimes you dinnae need fancy — just a decent chippy, eaten by the sea, and someone beside you who knows pinching your chips is grounds for muuuurderrrr (said in thon Taggart voice...you mind it).
Have you tried The Galley in Lossie? And more importantly…
👇 What’s YOUR favourite chippy in Moray?
Tag them below — because Dick ’n’ Jim are always willing to conduct further research. Purely for the page, obviously.
