About us Unforgotten Forces Unforgotten Forces was established in 2017 with a three- year grant of £4 million from the HM Treasury through the Aged Veterans Fund. This made possible a range of new services, and enhancements to existing services, to better meet the heath and wellbeing needs of veterans in Scotland age 65 and older. In this initial funding period Unforgotten Forces provided more than 13,000 episodes of support. Many older veterans received support from more than one partner, with in some cases life-changing results. Impact Report Under the leadership and co-ordination of Poppyscotland mechanisms were put in place, and a culture fostered, of knowledge and good practice sharing, and of joint working. This is core to the partnership: not every partner receives Unforgotten Forces funding, but all benefit from increased collaboration. On 1st October 2020 the Scottish Government replaced the Aged Veterans Fund (latterly known as the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust) as funder of the Unforgotten Forces partnership. The role of lead and co-ordinating partner was transferred from Poppyscotland to Age Scotland.
