Positive Futures: Getting Transition Right in Scotland – Housing: Making a Home in Civilian Society

We have seen an improvement across many aspects of transition in recent years – including housing, which presents some unique challenges – but we are still not getting it right for everyone. We need to act now to build on improvements, especially for those vulnerable to a failed transition, who risk entering a cycle of homelessness and the knock-on effects of that. For most that’s entirely preventable.

Scottish Veterans Commissioner – Transition in Scotland

In Scotland approximately 1800 men and women complete their military service and settle – many with their families - in our communities every year. As Scottish Veterans Commissioner, I have been asked by the Cabinet Secretary with responsibility for veterans, Keith Brown, to investigate how this diverse group prepare for, and cope with, transition using the recent studies by Lord Ashcroft, Forces in Mind Trust and others as a baseline.

Very proud to attend the VE Day 80 Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey today, along with the @niveteranscommissioner David Johnstone. A very moving event which reflected the nation's gratitude towards all who contributed to the liberation of Europe in 1945 and acknowledged the sacrifices of those who did not come home, and the loved ones who grieved their loss.

On the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we honour the extraordinary generation who served during WWII - on land, at sea and in the air, at home and overseas.

Their courage and sacrifice laid the foundations for peace and the freedoms we enjoy today.

We will remember them.

As we commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, I've joined with the Veterans Commissioners for Northern Ireland and Wales to remember our #WW2 veterans and those who have served since, and to reaffirm our commitment to ensuring today's veteran community is supported and never disadvantaged by their Service.

Last night's Scotland’s Salute: VE Day 80 event was a powerful and moving tribute to the men and women - whether in uniform or on the home front - who helped bring about the liberation of Europe on 8 May 1945.

The evening featured superb performances of music, song, drama and dance, interwoven with a striking visual narrative of the Second World War. Together, they told the story of the immense challenges faced by the Allies, and the extraordinary courage and resilience that led to Victory in Europe.

It was an immense privilege to meet some of the eight WWII veterans in attendance, including Margaret Landels, who served in the WRNS, and Charlie Horne, a Royal Navy Engineer who took part in the D-Day landings.

Their service - and the sacrifice of so many others - must never be forgotten.
