On Saturday 55 amazing women attended our Female Veterans’ Networking Event at The Scots Guards Club in Edinburgh. The fact that so many women turned up demonstrates that there is a real need for these types of events so we will be organising more!
It was a fantastic opportunity for ex-servicewomen from all 3 services to share experiences and provide feedback on how they want to be supported. Liza Jarvis and Hannah West from the Female Veterans’ Transformation Programme found the event particularly beneficial.
A big thank you to Susie Hamilton, the Scottish Veterans Commissioner, and all the other inspiring women from our partner organisations, who came along.
