Welcome

The Scottish Veterans’ Garden City Association (SVGCA) houses disabled veterans in Scotland.  Operating as a private not for profit Scottish charitable landlord, the Charity, founded in 1915 with Royal Patronage since the beginning, houses the greatest number of disabled veterans in the United Kingdom. 

The properties are located throughout Scotland which are run locally by thirty seven volunteer district committees.  The committees (some 163 people) are administered from Edinburgh and the Charity is overseen by a Chief Executive, a Finance Manager and a Housing officer, directed by a board of non-Executive directors.

SVGCA works closely with Scottish Local Authorities, Legion Scotland and the Army Personnel Recovery Centre from where priority is given to those transitioning from the Armed Forces due to injury;  since 2012 the charity has provided housing for 104 such people.  In that same time the charity has raised a further seven million pounds and built an additional 29 houses in 2015.

Application for those eligible is made through a common housing register via www.veteransscotland.org.uk
