Our team works with politicians and officials at all levels of government to further the interests of our Armed Forces community together and bring the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant to life.
Through our policy development, research gathering and campaigning, we seek to inform policy makers and service providers about issues affecting Service men and women, veterans and their families and through that work, seek positive change.
We work across a number of strategic areas of importance to our Armed Forces community including veterans’ health and wellbeing, housing, transitions including life skills, employability, and social security.
We base all our efforts on the latest available evidence, views from our leading researchers, policy experts, our staff and from the full spectrum of the Service and ex-Service community. Through our programme of engagement with MPs, MSPs, and Councillors, we ensure the voices of veterans and their families are heard in Parliament, in government forums, and in council chambers across Scotland.
We work collaboratively to produce manifestos ahead of elections, and make recommendations to the UK and Scottish Government. To view the General Election 2024 manifesto please click here.
