Royal British Legion Scotland
Charity registered in Scotland SC003323
Royal British Legion Scotland provides a large social club for those who are serving, ex-service men and women and their dependants in the Armed Forces. The Legion provides ways to help veterans to get on with their lives, and assists those who may require assistance. From local and national sports activities to raising money for veterans’ causes we are helping to put something back into communities.

Current opportunity
Volunteers are essential to Royal British Legion Scotland’s ability to support veterans in the community. We are currently recruiting volunteers for the Legion Scotland Veterans Community Support Service.
Trained and supported volunteers will be matched with Armed Forces veterans to provide a befriending relationship in the community and across Scotland – this could take the form of a regular social visit to relieve isolation and loneliness, or to provide assistance with more specific issues at other times. Training and support is provided and volunteers will be PVG (Protection of Vulnerable Groups) checked prior to contact with clients as well. This is not a personal care or advisory service.
A tremendous opportunity to volunteer with Legion Scotland and support veterans across Scotland . All assistance makes a difference and is greatly appreciated.
For more information please contact Elliot Thomson, Veterans Community Support Co-ordinator–West Scotland, Legion Scotland at Email: e.thomson@legionscotland.org.uk or tel.: 07876 203393.
