Here for veterans and their families

Supporting and advising former members of our UK Armed Forces, reservists and their family members.

Lothians Veterans Centre is a small independent charity which supports military veterans and their families.

We operate a drop-in centre in Dalkeith and have a small team of staff who are readily available to tackle any challenge that arrives through our door. It is a safe and welcoming environment that can provide instant assistance, support and advice in relation to a wide range of services, including health and wellbeing; housing; employment; benefits; pensions; further education and training; access to health services; welfare; comradeship; and activities. Veterans can also just drop in for a brew and a chat!

Sometimes there's biscuits!

2 SCOTS Breakfast Morning

Two of the team joined 2 SCOTS for their monthly Veterans breakfast morning held at Scots Corner. We were treated to copious amounts of tea and coffee to wash down the selection of filled rolls which included bacon, fried eggs, black pudding etc. Thanks to the guys at 2 SCOTS for having us. The Veterans breakfasts are held on the first Tuesday of every month, 10am – 12pm, so if you are free get yourself down for a free brekkie and some banter.
