Community and Relationships: Anything but Uniform

I was delighted to join @scotvetres yesterday to celebrate 10 years of Bellrock Close, which provides supported housing for veterans in Glasgow. I had a great day celebrating the incredible staff and residents that make Bellrock Close such a supportive, special place.

Last night I joined @cyrenians in marking #WorldHomelessnessDay. The event featured a thought-provoking presentation by Prof Suzanne Fitzpatrick, who highlighted the societal, personal and economic advantages of adopting a prevention approach to homelessness.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, I want to encourage members of the veteran community to look after their mental health, whether that's everyday steps to improve wellbeing or reaching out for support if you need it. Please remember you’re not alone. Get support at nhsinform.scot/care-support-and-rights/health-rights/access/health-rights-for-veterans/healthcare-support-for-veterans/

A pleasure to receive such a warm welcome from Garelochhead Station Trust today. A great example of a community organisation supporting their #veteran community in a whole host of ways. Thank you very much for hosting today's visit, @TrustStation .
