Trailblazers

Invest in the Future of Girls in Moray
We are launching Trailblazers, a ground-breaking initiative in partnership with Moray Girls Football Club and with the support of TSI Moray, designed to inspire confidence, creativity and ambition in local girls.
Our inaugural Trailblazers Conference will be held at Elgin City FC grounds this April!
This is more than just an event—it’s about showing young girls that they have a future of possibilities right here in Moray. They will:
- Meet inspiring women from a range of careers and backgrounds
- Take part in workshops and activities designed to build self-belief and leadership skills
- See firsthand that their ambitions—whether in sports, business, or any other field—are within reach
Why This Matters
Girls who grow up believing in themselves become leaders, innovators and changemakers. Yet too many young women in rural areas feel they must leave their communities to succeed. Trailblazers aims to change that.
As Mike Duncan, Chairman of Moray Girls FC, put it:
"Trailblazers will be the spark that ignites a desire to be the best that they can be. We need more women in highly skilled, well-paid jobs. More female entrepreneurs. A generation of girls who seek out opportunities—or create them for themselves."
How You Can Help
We are inviting donations via our GoFund Me Page. https://gofund.me/914b21b2
Your support will:
- Provide funding for the event, ensuring it is accessible to all girls, regardless of background
- Enable us to compensate the women who give their time to inspire, recognising and valuing their contributions
- Help us create a sustainable, long-term impact through follow-up opportunities
Join Us in Building a Legacy
Your contribution will help shape a generation of confident, ambitious, and resilient young women—right here in Moray.
If you believe in investing in the future of girls, in keeping talent local, and in breaking down barriers to success, we would love to have a conversation about how you can be part of Trailblazers.
Together, we can make a real, lasting difference.
Thank you for your attention and support!
