Today I joined Service Leavers, veterans, family members and support providers at the Defence Garden Scheme's Cultivate and Connect course at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
It was inspiring to see and hear at first hand how this nature based programme is supporting Service Leavers and veterans, making a positive difference to their recovery, wellbeing and connection with others.

I enjoyed catching up with Martin Nadin, CEO of Scottish Veterans Residences and Chair of the Veterans Scotland Housing Group. It was valuable to hear an update on veterans' homelessness from an expert provider and to discuss both the challenges we continue to face and the action needed to address them.
No one who has served their country should find themselves homeless, and there is still much work to do to make that a reality.

The Female Veterans’ Transformation Programme e-Learning platform is now live and freely available. 🔗 Link can be found in my bio - other links.
I would highly recommend the learning and the toolkit as an excellent resource for anyone who prefers to learn in their own time.
