The Founders of KTGC Scotland had a shared vision of what they wanted to do to help others within our Communities. With them being Veterans and having their own disabilities and mental health issues they still strived to make a difference. They set their sights to help and support our communities with issues such as poverty, homelessness and isolation as well assisting our Veterans, senior citizens, families and anyone in need of assistance. They seen there was a great gap in the help available and they wanted to make a difference to the quality of life for the people we strive to help. They knew they might not be able to help everyone, but at least they can make a difference in the life’s of the people they do. With months of thought, several meetings and hours of research they put words into action and began to make a real difference. To that end at on the 13th of March 2021, the Knights Templar Goodwill Charity of Scotland was born. The charity was set up by 3 ex-serviceman of our Armed Forces. They had served Queen and Country without question. We were taught Loyalty, Love & Discipline and through their actions they earned Respect, Trust & Honour. They respected the ethos, vows, ethics of do no wrong, protect the vulnerable, and principles of the original order of the Knights Templar. With this they wanted to bring this back into service but modernise it. One of their oaths is a simple but important one,

“Never look down on anyone, unless it is to help them up”.
