It was a privilege to meet Sharon Pickering, Community Support Worker for Scotland at Fighting With Pride, alongside RAF veteran Gary Wilson, who endured deeply unjust treatment under the pre-2000 LGBT ban. Hearing their personal stories was incredibly moving, and a powerful reminder of the lasting impact of that policy. It also highlighted the challenges LGBT veterans continue to face today. Support and services for veterans must be inclusive, accessible, and truly reflect the diversity of the whole community. @fightingwithpride

On Saturday I had the pleasure of joining a Borders veterans’ Big Breakfast in Kelso — a fantastic gathering that brought together veterans from breakfast clubs right across the region. My thanks to John Greenwell, Veterans Champion for Borders Council, for organising such a welcoming and well‑connected event. It was a valuable opportunity to hear directly from veterans living in the Borders, understand their experiences, and learn more about the support that matters most to them. It was inspiring to see veterans from different parts of the Borders coming together, sharing stories, and building connections that strengthen the whole community.
