As demonstrated by our development in Tarryholme, Riverside Scotland is committed to supporting veterans through housing provision.

Our partnership with Veterans First Point is a crucial part of our ethos.

Heather Anderson, Head of Service Delivery and Veterans Lead at Riverside Scotland, said: “Supporting the provision of affordable and suitable housing for veteran households is a key strategic objective for Riverside Scotland. As an organisation we are aware that there are often insufficient housing options for people who have been discharged from the Armed Forces, and a lack of sustainable support to address the needs of these households. We were keen to develop long term supported housing options for veterans and their families, to ensure they are fully supported in their housing journey after serving their country.”

“Our partnership with Veterans First Point provides a much-needed combination of secure and suitable housing, alongside support to address any mental, physical, emotional, and tenancy related needs for veterans and their families, for as long as it is needed.”

“We are so delighted to see our veteran customers happy and settled in their new homes and able to start the next chapter of their lives secure in the knowledge they have a permanent home.”

Lee Buss-Blair, The Riverside Group’s Veteran Lead said: “Riverside have a long-standing commitment to the Armed Forces Community. The work of Diana and her team in Scotland is a great example of that commitment in action and will make a huge difference to the lives of the veterans they house.”
