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.

The SVC Office was represented at a great event in Stirling hosted by The Royal Naval Benevolent Trust. Good to hear about their new strategy and the support they provide in Scotland.

Delighted to catch up with some of the Glasgow's Helping Heroes team at @ssafaofficial's 140th birthday service in Edinburgh. The service was a real celebration featuring the superb Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland, incredibly talented Pipes, Drums and Dancers of Queen Victoria School, and the wonderful Military Wives Choir.
