An inspiring day of collaboration at last week's #JoiningForces conference, hearing how forces-friendly employers make the most of the talent pool that is the veteran community. 

It was a great opportunity to share good practice and make connections.

A very interesting couple of days in Inverness, meeting veteran prison officers and prisoners in HMP Inverness, and speaking to members of the Highland Armed Forces & Veterans Community Covenant Partnership. There's some great work going on in and around the Highland capital.

Yesterday I visited @SSAFA Perth and Kinross's Inside Out exhibition, showcasing art by veterans in Perth and Castle Huntly Prisons. The self-tutored veterans have created impressive work which was being sold in aid of @ssafaofficial, which supports veterans in prison and their families outside.

A great night at the Scottish Ex-Forces in Business Awards, recognising the achievements of veterans in the business world. 

It was a pleasure celebrating the remarkable talent of our community and hearing about the successes of the finalists and winners, including Professor Geri Matthews-Smith, pictured - founder and director of the Centre for Military Research, Education & Public Engagement - who was named Advocate of the Year.

Well done to all 🏆
