02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
MSF was set up to address the complete lack of a dedicated sports facility in the Moray region. MSF has delivered a new facility, known as Moray Sports Centre. In addition MSF delivers and manages an operating model which addresses some of the inequalities created by the historic lack of such a facility. In line with its stated objectives, MSF continues to address the lack of people and skills to support the development of sport and by promoting highly inclusive programmes, increase physical activity across the local population. Activities include delivering the growth of the facility with the addition of four indoor tennis courts (opened July 2024), looking after customers with a wide range of needs, publicising MSC and working to stimulate demand. A new website became live in 2024. MSF support work with Developing Young Workforce as well as working with Active Schools co-ordinators from Moray Council. MSF has representatives on local sports forums.
