Veterans Housing Scotland

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.

Scotland’s only national memorial to the Indian Army personnel who served during the First and Second World Wars is taking shape at @kelvingroveartgalleryandmuseum in Glasgow.

It was fascinating to hear @colourfulheritagescot's plans and to visit the museum’s display, which shares the stories of servicemen from pre-Partition India, including Force K6, based in the Scottish Highlands.

I was joined by Glasgow’s Veterans Champion, Councillor Abdul Bostani; Charanjit Singh Sangha, the son of Naik (Corporal) Gian Singh VC; and David Boe, National Chairman of Legion Scotland.

An important memorial to service, sacrifice and a shared history.

An honour to attend the opening services for the Gardens of Remembrance in Glasgow and Edinburgh this weekend.

It was a moving opportunity to come together with the Lord Provost, Armed Forces, Emergency Services, Service Associations and military support organisations to remember those who gave their lives in service.

We will remember them.

I've joined the Veterans Commissioners for Northern Ireland and Wales in issuing a joint statement on the recent amendments to the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill.

We remain committed to working with the UK Government to ensure the legislation provides appropriate protections for those who served.
