High Life Highland has been rewarded for its work to support people within the armed forces community.
It has received the Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award, making it one of just 10 organisations in Scotland to achieve the standard this year.
High Life Highland was able to demonstrate it has supportive policies in place for veterans, reserves, cadet force volunteers and their spouses and partners.
It also provides 10 extra days paid leave for reservists.
High Life Highland chief executive Steve Walsh said: “This is yet another great achievement for the charity in demonstrating our support for the armed forces communities across the Highlands.
“To be one of very few Scottish organisations, and the first in the Highlands, is a major achievement for the charity and those involved should be extremely proud.
“The board and I are delighted to see HLH receive this coveted award.”
Lieutenant Colonel Graham Sefton, Commanding Officer of The Black Watch, 3 Scots said: “Knowing only too well how much work is involved for an organisation in order to achieve the gold award, I could not be more pleased to be making the presentation to High Life Highland on behalf of 3 Scots and the whole of the defence family.”
