45 Commando Veterans (Scotland)

About

We have established strong links with SSAFA, the armed forces charity, Help for Heroes and Help our Wounded. These organisations provide valuable assistance to those in need. They do however require time for the formalities to be completed prior to releasing aid. We can provide immediate assistance up until the larger organisations can take over, thus reducing the anxiety often felt by those in need. Our assistance takes many forms. Moral support for those who are having difficulty in the move to civilian life by introducing them to other former service personnel with whom they can discuss their problems. Practical support by for example providing transport for hospital visits for relatives and dependants. Visiting those in hospital. Financial support, this takes the form of short-term emergency assistance while we arrange for the large charities to provide access to their funds Our minibus is extremely busy ferrying veterans, their families, dependants to and from hospitals
