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.

Today I attended the opening of the Gretna Rail Disaster exhibition at the @ootbdrillhall in Leith - a moving tribute to the men of the Royal Scots, many from Leith, who were killed or injured in the crash, and to the loved ones they left behind. 

People with family connections to the tragedy were present, including Colin Bell, whose father, John Cardean Bell, survived the accident. The venue is particularly poignant as the remains of victims were returned to this very hall.

A fascinating short film tells the story - find the link in my bio 🔗

The SVC office was represented today at the Glasgow screening of ‘The Unseen Enemy’. 

This powerful film depicts the effects of gambling harms on the Armed Forces and Veteran communities. It was very moving to hear the stories of the impact gambling harms cause. 

Thanks to the whole team for all the good work they are doing to reduce the associated stigma and get people talking.

Last week, I joined commemorations marking #VEDay80 - honouring the courage and sacrifice of those who served, and reflecting on the resilience of those who endured loss and took on the enormous task of rebuilding in the aftermath.
