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.

As #MonthOfTheMilitaryChild comes to a close, I'm re-sharing Sophia's story. Sophia shared her experience of growing up in a military family and transitioning to civilian life to help bring my Community and Relationships report to life. She also spoke very powerfully at the launch of @forceschildrenscotland's Rights Charter for Forces Children on Purple-Up Day last week. It's thanks to young people like Sophia and her peers – and their openness – that we can drive meaningful change. Listen to Sophia reflect on life in a forces family in her own words.

On #AnzacDay, we remember Australians and New Zealanders who have served - and all who made the ultimate sacrifice. From Gallipoli to the present day, we honour their bravery and dedication to their country. #LestWeForget
