Blog: Make it a day to un-forget

At this time of year many of us wear a poppy and give generously in recognition of the service and sacrifices of our armed forces community.

Since starting our Veterans’ Project two years ago, we've seen first-hand how public donations for the welfare of veterans are put to very good use.

As part of the Unforgotten Forces consortium, we are truly inspired by the support offered by our partners at Scottish armed forces charities. You can watch short videos highlighting their work: a great introduction to what they do, and the difference they make for older veterans.

However, our partners share a surprising problem - finding older veterans who could benefit from the fantastic support they offer. Far too many veterans in Scotland aren't aware of the support that's available and are missing out, as shown by this new campaign by the RAF Benevolent Fund.
