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 yesterday at an interesting and moving event at Trades House in Glasgow, presented by @careaftercombat, members of Thrive Together. The event offered a fascinating insight into the work being carried out to support veterans in prison and within the criminal justice system. Care after Combat works closely with criminal justice partners in England and Wales and delivers training and awareness sessions to organisations supporting veterans in Scotland and Northern Ireland. My Veterans and the Law report examines the support in place for veterans involved in the criminal justice system and considers the role and contribution of those who work or volunteer within the system.
