REWILDING THE SEA - what do you think?

Following on very nicely from the insights gained in our coastal memories and indigenous local knowledge event, this event is an excellent opportunity to explore and discover what marine rewilding means for coastal communities.

Waternish Hall on Thurs 23rd July between 7pm-9pm, or Friday 24th July from 10am-12pm

Hi everyone,

My name is Jake, and I’m a fitness instructor focused on helping people stay active in a way that feels manageable, enjoyable, and sustainable.

I host a new Monday morning Circuits class in Waternish, and I’d love to welcome anyone who’s looking to move a bit more, build confidence, or get back into a routine.

These sessions are designed to be friendly, relaxed, and suitable for all abilities, with a focus on improving strength, balance, mobility, and overall fitness — without it feeling intimidating or overly intense.
Class Details:

Mondays
10:00am (45 minutes)
£8 per class

All exercises will have easier and more challenging options, so whether you’re just getting started or already fairly active, you can work at a level that suits you.

The aim is simple: keep moving, feel better, and build confidence week by week.

If you’re interested you can register an interest with me on my phone number or email below, otherwise just come along!

It would be great to see you there.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION AND HOSPITALITY

Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent marine memories and heritage event and personal interviews. We were absolutely delighted with the engagement and especially grateful to all who took the time to share their valuable insights into the past. So many valuable pieces of information were shared that help us to build a picture of our evolving marine environment, the changes in habitats and species past and present; as well as how we interact with it and depend on it as a community. We had so many inspired and fabulous conversations with people in the community, memories and experiences shared, walks, swims and site visits.

Chloe, the masters student leading this particular piece of work, is now writing her dissertation and building a multi layered digital map online.

The insights it reveals will be used locally to inform any decision we make about the ongoing management of our local marine environment.

Thank you once again, your participation was invaluable and very much appreciated.

For anyone who was unable to participate in personal interviews you can take part in the online survey at this link here.

Please read this and give it your consideration

A lady in Waternish is looking to add to her existing team of PAs. As a team member you would not be expected to be available every week, and you can do as little as one session (normally an hour) or more to suit.

Self Employed pay is £21.50 per hour.

The hours are normally 08:00 until 09:00 and 17:00 until 18:00 with the team providing cover every day between them. The position is very flexible with team members covering for each other.

So, even if you can offer just one session each week we’d like to hear from you.

For more information, please contact Catherine Leach on 01470 592 705 or mobile 07581 171 315 or email catherineleach60@gmail.com.
