I am delighted that my term as the Scottish Veterans Commissioner has been extended.
It has been an honour to serve Scotland’s veterans and their families since taking up the role in 2022.
I look forward to continuing to champion veterans’ voices and push for change where it is needed.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support and engage with my work.

Bereaved veterans and families should not have to search across different websites to find help.
@beyondthewireuk's new interactive Bereavement Hub brings clear information and support together in one place.
Thank you to the staff and volunteers who support the bereaved military community.

New Scottish Government, same message from me: progress needs to speed up.
Today I've published my 2026 Progress Report, checking on how well the Scottish Government is delivering for veterans and their families. Some encouraging steps forward on housing and gambling harm support - but a slowdown overall, and continued concerns on veteran employment, healthcare access and mental health support.
More progress at a faster pace is going to be required to make Scotland the destination of choice for Service leavers, veterans and their families.
Full news release can be found in the bio.

Great to catch up with Peter Gibson, CEO of @fightingwithpride to hear about the charity's plans to further support the LGBT veteran community in Scotland.
