Armed Forces Advice Project Scotland

Veterans who struggle to cope with a return to civilian life will be able to get advice and support from a new £600,000 project to help the armed forces community.

Former servicemen and women facing physical or psychological problems and issues such as difficulty finding a job or housing will benefit from the new Armed Forces Advice Project (Asap), which has been set up by Poppyscotland, Citizens Advice Scotland and a number of other support groups.

Anyone who is serving in the armed forces or has previously served, and their families, will be able to access help through a national helpline or by turning up at one of the 83 Citizens Advice Bureaux across Scotland.

Asap has been funded by Poppyscotland, the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, The Maritime Charities Funding Group, ABF the Soldiers’ Charity, Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association Forces Help, The Robertson Trust and Turn2us.

The national helpline is on 0845 231 0300
