WELFARE SUPPORT

The Army offers a wide range of welfare service for its Regular, Reserve, civilian and contractor personnel. This ranges from financial, medical, wellbeing and family support. The links below provide further information on the options available including Unit Welfare Support, Army Welfare Service and Army related charities. In the case of an emergency, please contact 999 in the first instance or if you experience a serious illness or death in your family, you should call the Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC) on 01452 519951.

Serving personnel and their families should always contact their Unit Welfare Officer (UWO) in the first instance if they have a welfare issue. The UWOs and their teams have the experience and expertise to help, and most problems can be resolved quickly and efficiently. The serving community is also catered for by the Army Welfare Service (AWS) and numerous service charities, Poppyscotland (Scotland based personnel), The Royal British Legion (TRBL) and SSAFA. Your UWO will be able to guide you in the event of these organisations being required in helping you resolve your welfare issue.

The Regimental Welfare Team in RHQ SCOTS work in support of the Battalions and Unit Welfare Officers, helping when required.  We play a part in ensuring the successful transition of those soldiers who are Wounded, Injured and Sick (WIS) in the support of Personnel Recovery Units (PRUs) and the Battalions. RHQ source and provide additional funding outwith the MOD to help WIS personnel settle into civilian life.

The Regiment is determined to provide the best welfare support possible to the families of those injured or killed as a result of their service and families are strongly encouraged to contact the Regimental Welfare Officer if they find they require assistance of any sort.
