Erskine strengthens trustee board

Veterans’ charity Erskine has appointed four new trustees to its board as it continues to deliver its long-term strategy supporting veterans and their families.

Joining the board are Professor Jackie Taylor MBE, Julie Carter, Roddy Neilson and Andrew Reynolds MBE.

Together, they bring expertise spanning healthcare, NHS finance, military service, workforce development, governance and public administration.

The appointments come as Erskine marks its 110th anniversary and progresses its 2025-2031 strategy, which aims to expand community-based support while continuing to provide specialist care for veterans across Scotland.

Founded in 1916, Erskine provides residential, nursing and dementia care, supported accommodation, activity centres and home support services.

Wing Commander Ian Cumming MBE, chief executive of Erskine Veterans Charity, said: “These appointments come at an important point in Erskine’s history. 

“As we mark 110 years since the charity was founded, we are rightly proud of the care and support Erskine has provided to generations of veterans and their families. 

“But this anniversary is not only about looking back. 

“It is about making sure we are ready for the veterans of today and tomorrow.

“Jackie, Julie, Roddy and Andrew bring exceptional experience across areas that are central to that future, including healthcare, finance, military service, public administration and workforce development. 

“Their knowledge and insight will strengthen Erskine’s governance and support our ambition to provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time.”
