Mission to Malta Accomplished! UK Veterans Restore Historic Fort Delimara
From 3–15 May, 10 previously homeless UK veterans supported by Alabaré, and four veteran staff and volunteers, demonstrated great dedication and resilience as they contributed to the preservation and improvement of Fort Delimara, an iconic site of Maltese military heritage.
The mission was a huge success. Thank you to Visit Malta, Heritage Malta, and the Armed Forces of Malta for their support and friendship.
In addition to the restoration work, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the National War Museum and commemorated the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

Inspired by our Mission to Malta?
With services at one in three supported housing providers in England closing last year due to funding cuts and rising costs, vulnerable individuals like these veterans have fewer places to turn.
Initiatives like Alabaré’s ‘Mission to Malta’ are giving homeless veterans hope of a transformed life.
Supporters can inspire future programmes in a variety of ways – by donating, fundraising and volunteering their time.
