Gary Gray, the Head of Welfare Services at Poppyscotland, said: “We reach out to those who have served, those still serving, and their families at times of crisis and need by offering vital, practical advice, assistance and funding. This is a hugely significant development for veterans across the country. The implementation of the Welfare Support Service enables us to deliver greatly enhanced support in local communities; providing one-to-one and face-to-face support to individuals who are particularly vulnerable and have complex needs.”
