It was a real pleasure to join the Veterans Scotland AGM, led by their Chair Emma Watson Mack. It is clear that Scotland has a dynamic and collaborative 3rd Sector supporting our Armed Forces and Veteran community, making a real impact on the lives of those who serve or have served. @veteransscotland

I attended Veterans Housing Scotland's event in Glasgow yesterday where I heard about plans to provide more housing for disabled veterans. I was pleased to meet Bailie Paul McCabe and Glasgow's Armed Forces Champion Councillor Abdul Bostani. A strength of VHS is that it works with many partners and it was a pleasure to catch up with Jamie from RCA Trust. @veteranshousingscotland

Huge thanks to Veterans Scotland for organising an extremely impactful Armed Forces Champions gathering yesterday. There was an impressive range of speakers, including Scotland's new Veterans Minister. The day demonstrated the power of collaboration, the real world consequences of policy decisions and the importance of listening directly to the Serving and veteran community. @veteransscotland
