Braw Talent

🌊 Welcome to Helensburgh — a story created by young people from Argyll & Bute

This second animation was imagined & built by a group of young people who wanted to share wisdom, encouragement and a sense of home for others moving to Helensburgh. 🎨🏡

Through stop‑motion animation, voiceover and shared stories, participants created a film to inspire confidence.

🎥 Watch the film for a sneak peek from the animation and experience a little bit of the magic from behind the scenes.

We’re excited to be back with this week for the second year of the HMS Oardacious project!
