Support Services

The Thurso Branch has a Wellbeing Officer who can help you with all the following information. Please contact our office to be put in touch.

Referral Options

There are a large number of organisations Legion Scotland work with who provide specialist support to members of the Armed Forces Community and other groups. These websites may be a good starting point for accessing this support or to find other useful services. Click here for more information.

We have also been made aware of another charity, set up to help the Armed Forces community with Mental Health issues; The Head-Up Retreat. This has been set up to help current and former members of the Armed Forces recover from their mental health and lead happier lives.
