Why donate ?  Where does you money go ?

This is why your your help is needed          

What else ?  The wider picture ...

Every pound donated goes directly to funding the buildings - no part of your donation is used in our administration

We ask that you support this Appeal.             

In the last 18 months, Houses for Heroes has met 47 from 48 requests for housing in Scotland from young soldiers severely wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan but there are many more on the waiting list. Those with severe injuries require specially adapted properties when they are discharged from the Personnel Recovery Centre in Edinburgh.

This is why the staff and supporters of Scottish Veterans’ Garden City Association (SVGCA) are to undertake a land, sea and air fundraising event to raise £150,000 for a new cottage for a young disabled ex-Serviceman and family. Fundraisers will parachute into Perth, others march from Inverness to Edinburgh Castle and a third group will swim the Corryvreckan.

The entire event, going under the name ‘Houses for Heroes’, will see Ann Hamilton, from the Edinburgh HQ, leading a group of the Army’s Personnel Recovery Unit, based at Edinburgh, with other serving personnel march the 270 miles from Inverness, via Aberdeen and Perth, to Edinburgh Castle, 28 April – 6 May.

Peter Minshall, SVGCA CEO, with ex-Service colleagues is to swim a mile across the Gulf of Corryvreckan, off Jura, in July. He said: “It’s no walk in the park but we are united in our aim to raise funds to house disabled ex-Service personnel.”

Caroline Wilkinson, also from the Edinburgh HQ, will parachute into Perth with colleagues from the Royal British Legion Scotland, in June.

Chairman Lt Colonel Richard Callander said: “More suitably adapted houses are required to accommodate these veterans, all of whom have had traumatic life-changing experiences. We ask the Scottish public to support our appeal.”

Because we can not do this alone...
