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.

On #VEDay we remember those who served during WWII to achieve peace in Europe. We honour the courage of all who served, laying the foundation for the peace and freedoms we enjoy today. We acknowledge the sacrifice of those who did not come home, and the loved ones who grieved their loss. We will remember them.

It was a pleasure to see the 2026 Scottish Veterans Awards recognise excellence in a wide range of categories such as Employer (Police Scotland), Inspiration (Pauline Cherrington of Lothians Veterans Centre) and Health & Well-being (Janet Harkess of Scottish Veterans Residences). My congratulations to all the winners and nominees, and thanks to the organisers, staff, volunteers and sponsors.
