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.

It was a pleasure to see the 2026 Scottish Veterans Awards recognise excellence in a wide range of categories such as Employer (Police Scotland), Inspiration (Pauline Cherrington of Lothians Veterans Centre) and Health & Well-being (Janet Harkess of Scottish Veterans Residences). My congratulations to all the winners and nominees, and thanks to the organisers, staff, volunteers and sponsors. @veteransawards @policescotlandofficial @scotvetres @lothiansvets

It was a joy to be part of the 2026 Scottish Veterans Awards, hearing some incredible stories, meeting outstanding people and sharing in the strong sense of pride in a veteran community that is vibrant, capable and continuing to contribute to our society. #veteransawards

Great to see plenty of Service Leavers and a host of employers at the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) Employment Fair at Murrayfield this week. I spoke with a number of employers looking to hire ex military people including NESO, because they recognise the valuable skills and attributes that veterans bring to the workplace. A number of support organisations such as Housing Options Scotland and SSAFA were also on hand to offer advice. It was also a pleasure to catch up with the CTP team for an update. @modctp @ssafaofficial @housingopsscot
