Veterans Housing Scotland

Posted on January 6 2023 at 15:11

I attended the launch of Veterans Housing Scotland’s campaign to secure 25 more homes for veterans by 2025.

The campaign promotes partnerships between charities and social housing providers which will enable veterans to be nominated for social tenancies – an effective approach which I fully endorse.

2025 campaign

Midlothian Council was the first housing provider to sign up, committing to allocate two properties a year to nominated disabled veterans and their families – an encouraging start. The very talented Edinburgh Military Wives Choir provided splendid entertainment for the evening.

At last night's meeting of the Cross Party Working Group on Veterans and Armed Forces Families, we heard valuable insights into new research on Service children with Additional Support Needs, as well as an encouraging update on the Thrive Together programme. The Convener, Maurice Golden MSP, and the Chair, Maurice Corry, offered heartfelt thanks to the outgoing group secretary Jim Wilson, and presented him with tokens of esteem in recognition of his many years of service. I join them both in expressing my appreciation and wishing Jim every success in his future endeavours.
