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.

Scotland’s only national memorial to the Indian Army personnel who served during the First and Second World Wars is taking shape at @kelvingroveartgalleryandmuseum in Glasgow.

It was fascinating to hear @colourfulheritagescot's plans and to visit the museum’s display, which shares the stories of servicemen from pre-Partition India, including Force K6, based in the Scottish Highlands.

I was joined by Glasgow’s Veterans Champion, Councillor Abdul Bostani; Charanjit Singh Sangha, the son of Naik (Corporal) Gian Singh VC; and David Boe, National Chairman of Legion Scotland.

An important memorial to service, sacrifice and a shared history.

An honour to attend the opening services for the Gardens of Remembrance in Glasgow and Edinburgh this weekend.

It was a moving opportunity to come together with the Lord Provost, Armed Forces, Emergency Services, Service Associations and military support organisations to remember those who gave their lives in service.

We will remember them.
