Support for Veterans

The Scottish Veterans Commissioner is not an ombudsman, therefore does not have the power to investigate individual cases or provide direct support.

However, if you are a member of the veterans community seeking information, advice or support, the following services can help.

 

Veterans Gateway

Operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Veterans Gateway acts as a first point of contact, working to connect you with the most suitable support services as early as possible. You can contact Veterans Gateway using one of the methods listed here.

 

Veterans Assist

Veterans Assist – as part of Veterans Scotland – offers a useful website designed to signpost Armed Forces personnel and their families to a range of services best placed to help with the information, advice and support they need from across Scotland.

For more information or to contact Veterans Assist, visit here.

 

Unforgotten Forces

If you are a veteran over the age of 60 and are seeking support, or you wish to refer an older veteran for support, Unforgotten Forces is a consortium of 17 organisations led by Age Scotland to deliver services in a range of areas.

You can get more information about the partners and getting in touch here.

Every #AnzacDay we remember Australians & New Zealanders who have served in war, conflict & peacekeeping operations around the world. We honour their bravery and thank them for their sacrifice. #AnzacDay2024 #LestWeForget

An inspirational day celebrating the 5th birthday of Scotland's Bravest Manufacturing Company as they were awarded with a King's Award for Enterprise. Research led by @glasgow_caledonian_university evidenced real impact on the lives of veterans working there, including increasing skills and confidence. It was a pleasure to meet with veterans that I had met on a previous visit and hear how they continue to contribute and benefit from working in a supportive environment. I also caught up with inspirational Training Manager Julie. Congrats to all at SBMC and @rblicharity on their continued success.
