Mayor of Amesbury pays tribute to local Alabaré services
On Thursday, 12 June, we welcomed the Mayor of Amesbury, Cllr Dr Monica Devendran to two of Alabaré’s local services.
Cllr Dr Monica Devendran has been seeing how our Veteran Self-Build programme and Learning Disabilities homes are providing our clients with new skills to improve their independence.
The Self-Build project at Ludgershall’s Drummond Park sees formerly homeless ex-service personnel getting hands-on with the creation of new homes that will eventually be available to them for independent living through our partners in housing associations.
Veterans are not only learning new skills – they’re also rebuilding confidence and opening doors to meaningful careers in the construction industry.
Amesbury’s Mayor has also visited an Alabaré home in the town which supports clients with Learning Disabilities.
Cllr Devendran spent some time with residents and staff, hearing about efforts to help residents live as independently as possible.
The Mayor described the visits as ‘moving and uplifting, showcasing the compassionate ethos at the heart of Alabaré’s work’, saying:
“When we invest in people and believe in their potential, we don’t just rebuild homes — we rebuild hope, dignity, and purpose.”
