  • providing direct financial assistance to veterans and their dependants;
  • funding an advice service, including pension claims and appeals;
  • supporting the employment of veterans with disabilities in Lady Haig's Poppy Factory, Edinburgh; and
  • providing grants and research to organisations that deliver specialist support to veterans in Scotland.
