What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
The charity was established to ensure that everyone who has served or is currently serving in the armed forces or any member of their family who is experiencing mental health problems is able to, quickly and easily, access and receive appropriate, effective treatment and support. We do this by providing mental health care and support specifically tailored to the unique needs of veterans and their families. We focus on promoting mental well-being and resilience and on fostering a sense of connection and support for those in need. We provide a range of conventional and complimentary psychotherapeutic treatments to help deal with the problems that often evolve from trauma, PTSD or other commonly related conditions that affect individuals who have served or are serving in the armed forces. We also collaborate with organisations working within the veteran community to enhance access to other care and support services.

No charity trustee information available
From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
