SUNRAY TWOSIX is veteran-led wellbeing and awareness initiative travelling across the Outer Hebrides.
We want to meet people, hear stories, share memories & experiences, have a laugh and remind others that support and understanding can begin with something as simple as a conversation over a cuppa.

🌟 Understanding Neuroplasticity: Unlocking Your Brain’s Potential 🌟
Did you know your brain has the incredible ability to rewire itself? This phenomenon, known as neuroplasticity, allows your brain to adapt, grow, and evolve throughout your life.
💡 Neuroplasticity means: • Learning New Skills: From picking up a new language to mastering a hobby, your brain creates new pathways to make you better at what you practice. • Recovery: After injury or trauma, your brain can adapt, helping you regain abilities or find new ways to perform tasks. • Adapting to Change: Whether it’s adjusting to a new environment or adopting healthier habits, your brain remains flexible and resilient.
How can you boost your brain’s neuroplasticity? 🧠✨
✅ Stay curious – never stop learning.
✅ Engage in physical activity – movement supports brain health.
✅ Prioritize sleep – it’s when your brain processes and consolidates information.
✅ Embrace challenges – growth happens outside your comfort zone.
Your brain’s ability to change is your greatest strength. Tap into the power of neuroplasticity today! 💪

🎉 Opening night v2 at the Submarine Centre, Helensburgh was another big success. 👏👏👏
It was a very special night having Claire Louise , Fraser, Chris and supporters from HELP - Jim's Story at the event. There was a very brave and moving introduction from Claire about the how HELP - Jim's Story came about and emphasised even more on how more needs to be done to destigmatise mental health issues and to end the silence and start the conversation.
🫶 Thank you to everyone who came along and for the extremely positive feedback. 🙏
Many people didn't know what to expect and were surprised at how the event made them feel. It seems that certain parts affected people in different ways, which is what we hoped for.
"I've never experienced anything like this before." is the most consistent comment we've had.
The exhibition is now open to the public daily (except Wed 13th) from 10am till 4pm.
We would recommend you wait till the show starts rather than go in during a performance...it's only 30 minutes long.

Great Premiere Warhead Project UK Exhibition last night. From all the feedback it seems it was a great success. 🧐
Thanks to everyone who came along. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. A massive thanks to all the staff and volunteers at the Scottish Submarine Centre. Most of all a huge thanks to all the veterans that contributed to this event…we couldn’t have done it without you. 🫡🤘
Looking forward to tomorrow evening’s event. 😎😳

This quote from one of my favourite movies, and the music from the scene, inspired how the final section of the WarHead Exhibition visuals took shape.
Come along and see for yourself.
I think many veterans could relate to these words…I know I can.
End the silence, start the conversation.

Photography is art. But these days taking the photo doesn’t have to be the end of it. Here’s five examples (original selfie at the end) of how a selfie can be transformed into completely different portraits using an app.
Some see this as cheating or not real art. It still involves a creative process and that for me makes it unique, pleasurable and rewarding. #mentalhealthawareness #wellbeing #artmatters #artforthebrain #veteranart #neuroplasticitymagic
