John Muir Way

Earlier this year, a team of veterans, serving personnel from 6SCOTS, and staff from Sacro’s Veterans Mentoring and Forces of Nature services came together to complete the 134-mile John Muir Way.

The walk was organised to highlight the difficulties faced by military veterans and promote the life-changing support available to them.

I was honoured to receive them at the end of the walk and congratulate them on their accomplishment. Everyone was in good spirits despite very inclement weather, and they were even joined by a piper on the final leg of their journey!

Delighted to see that veterans from RBL's Recovery Through Comedy programme will be taking to the stage again at this year's @edfringe. They have now formed the @veterans_comedy_club and will be bringing Operation Stand-Up to the Poppy Factory in August.

I was lucky enough to see last year's show, and not only were the performers inspiring, they had the audience in stitches!

@forceschildrenscotland's new report explores how being part of a Forces family can impact the human rights of a child.

With the rights of all children in Scotland now legally protected under the UNCRC Scotland Act, we must ensure that the unique barriers faced by Forces children are addressed. 

The report makes a series of recommendations to all levels of Government to help ensure their rights are protected and promoted.
