Who We Help

Quite simply, Poppyscotland want to help as many people in the ex-Service community as possible. In Scotland nearly one million people are part of this community and while the majority lead a fulfilling and relatively trouble free life outside the Armed Forces, many experience a range of difficulties and challenges.

To be eligible for support from Poppyscotland you must simply have served, or currently serve, in the British Army, Royal Navy or Royal Air Force, in either a regular or reserve capacity. You do not need to be “Scottish”, but simply be resident in Scotland at this time to apply for our help.

Poppyscotland also supports military families. If you are a dependant (spouse, widow, widower, child) of a current or ex-Serviceman or woman, you can also apply for our help.

Poppyscotland supports veterans of all ages and whether difficulties have arisen from time in the Armed Forces or come about long after a military career is over. If you think Poppyscotland can help you, please get in touch now. The start of a better life may be just one phone call away.
