It was a privilege to speak at Scotland’s Housing Network's Annual Gathering yesterday. Kevin McLeod from @scotvetres joined me to share a powerful and deeply personal story that resonated with everyone in the room. His experience highlighted the challenges some veterans face in securing housing - and how collaboration and understanding can help address them.

A really valuable day of collaboration in action at the Unforgotten Forces Autumn Gathering yesterday. Great to see so many organisations, including new members, coming together to share experience, insights and practice in supporting older veterans across Scotland.

A minor clan gathering at @poppyscotland's Scottish Poppy Appeal launch at Holyrood last night, where I met Major Del Hamilton, Commanding Officer of the Personnel Recovery Unit, and Captain Sean Hamilton of the Scots Guards.
A meaningful evening marking the beginning of Remembrance and the vital fundraising period that helps provide life-changing support for the veteran community.
