Today, Friday 22nd March 2024, we were joined by representatives from across the military and civilian communities at Stonehenge World Heritage Site, for a service of prayer and remembrance to mark 80 years since the loss of HMS Stonehenge at sea.
Andrew Lord, Alabaré CEO, reflects on his childhood memories this Armistice Day.
Today, Alabaré has been selected to be a key partner in Op FORTITUDE, which aims to end homelessness amongst ex-Armed Forces personnel in the UK.
The group from our veterans and young people’s services learned to ride, play polo and participate in an elite tournament, as well as get an insight into the equine world!
At Alabaré, our goal is to help people who are vulnerable or homeless to overcome the challenges they are facing and build new lives for themselves. Here, we explain upcoming changes to our Dorset service.
We welcomed the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Johnny Mercer MP, to Drummond Park in Ludgershall, Wiltshire, to meet with those involved in the veterans’ community project and discuss the huge benefits of collaboration between charity and industry in helping veterans.
We welcomed the Leader of Wiltshire Council, Cllr. Richard Clewer, to see the progress of the Drummond Park site at Ludgershall and meet the Alabaré Self-Builders involved in its construction.
A team of eleven veterans from Alabaré, including eight who have struggled and faced homelessness since leaving the Armed Forces, are returning to Gibraltar, a UK territory where many personnel spent time serving.
Adam commented on where he had been in his life: “A year ago, I was in such a difficult place. Others might have given up, but Alabaré gave me a home and a chance to build a future. I was completely honest with them, and they did not judge me but gave me the support and opportunities I needed to move forward with my life.
