Heather Bryson BCyA - Formerly Known As Lock Down Exercise By H

Started off the week volunteering at the Cancer Research UK, Cancer Research UK Race for Life event at .

Wednesday out with Police Scotland at the helipad. An exciting opportunity to see the Police Helicopter up close.

Thursday was an extremely early start, out on deployment with all the emergency services on a "secret mission". That's all we can say about that one, accept H was absolutely BUZZING once she was finished.

Once again, she's extremely lucky to get these opportunities.

It's been a very busy week.
Heather attended an event in the Northern Corridor sector with Voluntary Action North Lanarkshire (VANL), once again promoting The Scottish Government Saltire Awards.

Last night and today she was out on deployment with Police Scotland.

This girl never stops.

Always loves the opportunity to inspire others.

The last 2 days Heather has been out with Voluntary Action North Lanarkshire (VANL) welcoming people at the "sign-in" table and promoting The Scottish Government Saltire Awards.

Yesterday she visited Bellshill, today Wishaw.

Always loves the opportunity to inspire others.

Heather continues to work with Uni Edinburgh, shaping the future of mental health service.

A video call today to discuss new opportunities, including voice over work.

Heather's "mingling" at the Voluntary Action North Lanarkshire (VANL) conference today.

Always loves the opportunity to inspire others in her role as the The The Scottish Government Saltire Award Ambassador.

Heather was back out yesterday volunteering alongside Police Scotland, joined by the Glasgow Commonwealth 2026 mascot, Finnie the Unicorn — such a brilliant atmosphere and great to see so many smiles! 🙌

It’s been a really busy start of the year, which is why there haven’t been many posts — but it’s all been for good reason, working hard behind the scenes and out in the community where it matters most.

When the dream turns to a nightmare.

Worked so hard, for years, to achieve my level 6 in skiing (final level). Sold my “pre-loved” items to fund the £1600 school ski trip to France. Was so excited to gain experience on the snow and have quality time with school friends however this all came crashing down when, within the first hour of the first lesson, I damaged my leg.

When things don’t go to plan — whether it’s a setback, a disappointment, or an injury — it can knock the wind out of you. But resilience, a bit of grit, and a sense of humour help you adapt, keep moving, and find a new way forward. Stick with it, and success often shows up when you least expect it.

Two weeks on I’ve got the go ahead from the hospital and physiotherapy to remain in the The Minerva Juniors production of The Little Mermaid.

Please, please support my efforts and come to see the show or take an advert in the show program (£50 half page, £100 full page).
The Little Mermaid – East Kilbride Village Theatre – 17th to 21st Feb
