Jim first came to the Forres area in 1960 with the RAF and stayed for over 4 years.  When the opportunity arose for Jim and his wife to buy a local business in 1997, he was happy to return to Moray.  Jim has been self-employed for most of his working life, and happiest when dealing on a face to face basis with the public.

Tina first moved to Forres as a member of the RAF, but having married and raised a family she has been settled here for the last 30 years. Latterly she has been employed as a primary school administrator. Having spent most of her adult life here she is committed to the area and its development for the benefit of the next generation and joined FACT to help make a positive contribution.

Joanne has been an Accountant for over 25 years and she joined the FACT Board in 2022. She has been a FACT Volunteer and has enjoyed supporting the Community in a practical role which she now combines with her role as the Treasurer. She loved growing up in Forres and has raised her own family here as well.

I have always enjoyed being involved in community projects and think it’s important for an organisation such as FACT to collaborate across organisations to make Forres a better place to live, work and visit. This is something I feel I have perspective, life experience and knowledge to assist with. I’m also currently a Befriender for FACT.

Lorna has been living in Forres since 1980 and is passionate about the area and its people.  Until May 2002 Lorna was an Independent Councillor for Forres Ward 8 which FACT covers.  Lorna sees so much potential in individuals and groups working together and commits to the ‘Spirit of Community’ and Forres & area being the Centre of the Universe!
