Veterans’ charities given funding boost
CHARITIES in the Capital which help ex-servicemen and women overcome the mental scars of the battlefield have been handed a funding boost.
Two city-based veterans’ groups are to share almost £25,000 handed out by the Scottish Government.
The cash will help former active soldiers and their families cope with the challenging reintegration to civilian life.
