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.

It was an honour to lay a wreath at the @policescotlandofficial Armistice event at the Scottish Police College today, a very constructive and meaningful event attended by many of their Veterans Champions. I took the opportunity to update them on my latest report on Veterans and the Law and thank them for the work they do.

A key finding of my Veterans and the Law report is the positive impact of drawing on shared military experience within the prison setting. It's important that staff in the prison service are given adequate time and support to facilitate this.
