Spotlight on: Armed Forces Community
In Scotland, it is estimated that 20% of the population are part of the Armed Forces Community. Recognising that members of this community often have particular support and information needs, The Armed Services Advice Project (ASAP) has been created to be the focal point for the Armed Forces Community in Scotland for access to advice, information and support.
ASAP can be accessed by calling our Helpline on 0808 800 1007.
