A 12 minute summary of how Scottish Veterans Residences save lives and enrich communities
" I started my military journey in the 80’s with the reserves and then subsequently GSUOTC. Pretty much for most of the time I have managed to hand-pick and choose to do all the cool and sexy stuff. I’ve never fired a round in anger and never been shot at. And hopefully never will. A hero for me is some of the amazing men and women who currently work in high consequence environments but not necessarily in war. In civvy street like our blue light brigade in A&E who work ridiculous hours for shit pay. That’s not me.”
“I have many friends and family who have done tours in pretty hostile environments, who have experienced and witnessed some pretty horrific shit. For me a Veteran is someone who has been in theatre. I’m so grateful that’s never been me. "
Jo was spending time with some of his family in the Midlands. He wasn’t on holiday. His marriage was falling apart, and he needed some respite from the noise. As he spent most evenings alone in his aunt’s spare room, he started educating himself on an Ai Platform called Night-café. He had attempted drawing and painting a couple of times but had no idea what he was doing. Night-café seemed to be cutting his learning curve. Summer 2023 Joseph moved back to Glasgow to try one last time with his wife Kirsty Morrison-Meade to mend their marriage. In July they both decided it wasn’t going to work and Jo found himself homeless.
