A constructive introductory meeting today with Jamie Hepburn MSP, Minister for Veterans. We reflected on progress made in recent years and the challenges ahead. Key priorities discussed included the Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Pathway, Op Banner veterans, the Veterans Homelessness Prevention Pathway, and extending the Armed Forces Covenant.
I look forward to working with the Minister to support our Armed Forces and veteran community.

It was a real pleasure to join the Veterans Scotland AGM, led by their Chair Emma Watson Mack. It is clear that Scotland has a dynamic and collaborative 3rd Sector supporting our Armed Forces and Veteran community, making a real impact on the lives of those who serve or have served.

I attended Veterans Housing Scotland's event in Glasgow yesterday where I heard about plans to provide more housing for disabled veterans. I was pleased to meet Bailie Paul McCabe and Glasgow's Armed Forces Champion Councillor Abdul Bostani. A strength of VHS is that it works with many partners and it was a pleasure to catch up with Jamie from RCA Trust.
