Chief Executive

We have over two hundred years of experience

We were founded in 1815 to support Scottish children and young people whose parents were killed or experienced life-changing wounds during the Napoleonic Wars. Today, we support children and young people from armed forces and veteran families across Scotland to realise their potential and thrive in lots of different ways.

Our Mission

Our mission is to become the sector-leading charity in Scotland that supports children and young people, from armed forces communities. We will embed their lived experience at the heart of everything we do to provide exciting opportunities to get involved to co-produce our services and amplify their voices to inspire meaningful change.

Our Vision

We have launched a new vision to reach and support greater numbers of children and young people from serving, reservist and veteran families across Scotland. We have worked directly with children and young people to ensure their lived experience and views are at the heart of our new three-year strategy, which is something we are very proud to share with you.

Together we have shaped six strategic priorities to drive our ambitious plans forward to become the sector leading charity supporting children and young from serving, reservist and veteran families across Scotland.
