Celebrating Scotland’s Veterans

Posted on April 21 2023 at 10:22

Susie with Scott at the SSAFA event

I was privileged to attend not one, but two awards ceremonies celebrating some of the amazing achievements of Scotland’s veterans community.

On Tuesday I was at the Scottish Ex-Forces in Business Awards, a celebration of the achievements veterans in the business world and of businesses that demonstrate commitment to recruiting veterans and ensuring they are supported to reach their full potential in the workplace. It was humbling to be surrounded by so much talent on the night.

I was delighted to chat with Scott, a fundraiser for SSAFA, the beneficiary of the awards night, and meet his companion Lincoln.

On Wednesday I attended the Scottish Veterans awards, recognising our veterans in business, fitness, sport and the wider community, reservists who are doing great things, and the organisations doing great things for veterans and their families.

I celebrated 110 years of @veteranshousingscotland over the weekend, at an event at Edinburgh Castle attended by HRH The Princess Royal. It was great to hear about the lives the charity has changed over the years, and get an update on its ongoing work to offer veterans and their families safe, secure homes that meet their needs. The evening ended with the RAF pipe band beating the retreat.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting veterans, families and staff at Glasgow's Helping Heroes where I heard their views and experiences around finance and debt. This will help to inform my next report.
