David said: “ScotsCare is a fantastic charity that has been here in London for over 400 years, giving a helping hand to generations of Scots and the children of Scots. I am delighted to have been appointed chairman of this historic and important organisation and look forward to carrying on the excellent work carried out by Peter Scott and previous chairs.
“The need for ScotsCare’s services has never been greater and I will work to ensure that it evolves and remains relevant and of help to the many Scots in London who need us.”
