Unforgotten Forces – Covid-19 Update
A summary of revised services available for older veterans aged 65 and above via the Unforgotten Forces consortium partners during the current Coronavirus outbreak is available here. Obviously, the situation may change at short notice and further updates will be provided as and when appropriate. Meantime however, with the exception of three of the consortium’s service delivery types which unfortunately have had to be placed in abeyance for the time being, the remainder are continuing to deliver a modified service in support of older veterans in Scotland.
If you are an older veteran over the age of 65 and are seeking support, or you wish to refer an older veteran for support, please use the details and links below to contact the partners in the Unforgotten Forces programme.
