Age Scotland's Veterans Project

Age Scotland is working alongside partners in the Unforgotten Forces consortium to boost the health and wellbeing of veterans in Scotland aged 65 and older. A minimum one day’s paid service in HM Armed Forces as a regular, reserve, national serviceman or in the merchant navy could entitle you to extra help and support.

Combatting loneliness among older veterans

We're enabling older veterans to enjoy forces friendships by phone as part of a Comradeship Circle group.

Video stories of action to tackle isolation

Support and training for community groups and services

We can help your group or service to identify, include and support older members of the veterans' community.

Boost your physical fitness
