Kind Words from Glasgow's Chairman of SSAFA, Charles Scott

On behalf of G&R SSAFA may I thank you most warmly for all your efforts and your colleagues unstinting support for what we strive to do for out Vets ,past and present.

The £1000 is truly magnificent. Do, please advise all involved in this decision of our most sincere thanks.

We have had a very difficult year with many old stagers hanging up boots, or being so much out of contact that this has been an unintended consequence of CV19.

The singular exception must shine through of what Paras have done in many ways--not just at Central Station--and continue to do as we move into 2022.

What an example you guys show, so glad of your company.

With kindest Seasons Greetings and best of health for 22 to one and all

Charles
