Helensburgh Heroes

The Logie Baird TV set in the local library was a constant reminder that you can come from a small town like Helensburgh and go out into the world and do whatever you want.

― Tom Vaughan, Film & TV Director
You know, heroes are ordinary people that have achieved extraordinary things in life.

―Dave Winfield, Philanthropist
When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them.

―Sam Raimi, Director
Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes

―Benjamin Disraeli

WELCOME TO HELENSBURGH HEROES

John Logie Baird, father of television, was the catalyst for the creation of both Helensburgh Heroes and the concept of creating a Heroes Centre.

He devoted his life to invention, creation and entrepreneurism. He had a belief, a vision and a spirit that was unwavering in its desire to succeed.

From the town that gave one of the world’s most famous sons, Helensburgh Heroes used the central themes of innovation, aspiration and inspiration to nurture and encourage community participation.

We believed it would inspire current and future generations to do great things by having the arts, education, innovation and community at its heart.

A Centre was created in the heart of the town at the end of 2017 but unfortunely was forced to close in late 2018, through no fault of Helensburgh Heroes. For a few brief months it had allowed the organisation to publicly and succesfully demonstrate its concept.
