Highland Veterans Handyperson Service

In 2018, we established the Highland Veterans Handyperson service to provide practical help to veterans with odd jobs and small repairs around the home, which might be difficult due to age or disability. Eligibility applies to older veterans aged over 65 years or with a disability and any family members/ dependents. Definition of a veteran is 1 day’s pay and service, in uniform, with HM Armed Forces as a regular, reservist, national serviceman or merchant mariner.

This service is delivered with funding from Age Scotland through the Unforgotten Forces partnership, the Hugh Fraser Foundation and the Garfield Weston Foundation. Previous funders have included the Aged Veterans Fund through the Unforgotten Forces partnership, the Veterans’ Foundation, Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity, and the Bank of Scotland Foundation.
