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.

A very fitting celebration yesterday afternoon to thank and congratulate Unforgotten Forces for the significant contribution made to the veteran landscape since 2017. UF leaves a strong legacy as it winds up and much has been achieved to support the needs of older veterans, bringing partners together across Scotland. A special mention to Frank, Karina and Laila for all the brilliant work they have done. Thank you all.
