The opening of the Garden of Remembrance at Kelvingrove in Glasgow yesterday was a deeply moving and reflective occasion. The Lord Provost of Glasgow, serving members of the Armed Forces, MSPs, veterans, families, and members of the wider community came together to honour and remember all those who gave their lives – and the loved ones they left behind – in the cause of our freedom.
After the service, I was delighted to meet Roy Geddes MC, Regional Manager of Erskine’s Activity Centres in Bishopton and Forres.

I’m pleased that the Scottish Veterans Fund is now open for applications and I look forward to chairing the panel. I hope to see many of the commendable projects delivering expert help to the veteran community come forward for funding.
You can find more information on the main and small funding streams via the link in our bio and you can apply between now and 5th of December.

A really valuable day of insight yesterday with updates and networking at Firm Base conference arranged by 51 Bde.
Very encouraging to hear the range of policy and practice support for Serving people, families and the veteran community. Although there is still work to do to ensure that none are disadvantaged because of their Service.
