The SVC Office was represented at a great event in Stirling hosted by The Royal Naval Benevolent Trust. Good to hear about their new strategy and the support they provide in Scotland.

Delighted to catch up with some of the Glasgow's Helping Heroes team at @ssafaofficial's 140th birthday service in Edinburgh. The service was a real celebration featuring the superb Band of The Royal Regiment of Scotland, incredibly talented Pipes, Drums and Dancers of Queen Victoria School, and the wonderful Military Wives Choir.
