Street Art Meets Social Impact: Pegasus Creating Exclusive Artwork for Alabaré
Alabaré is proud to announce a powerful new collaboration with the prolific Pegasus street artist.
Alabaré is proud to announce a powerful new collaboration with the prolific Pegasus street artist, who is creating a specially commissioned artwork.
Known for his bold, thought-provoking pieces and cultural iconography, Pegasus street artist brings a unique voice to the cause — and now, to the heart of our mission to break the cycle of homelessness.
Pegasus is the tag name of American-born, London-based artist Chris Turner, renowned for works featuring famous faces including Marilyn Monroe, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, David Bowie, Prince, George Michael, and most notably, a tribute piece to Amy Winehouse.
Why is Pegasus partnering with Alabaré?
Every night, nearly 354,000 people are sleeping rough on the UK’s streets according to a report from Shelter (Dec 2024), with nearly 1,500 deaths of people experiencing homelessness recorded during 2024.
During 2024, Alabaré supported more than 150 veterans at services in the South West of England and Wales, with 84 subsequently moving into independent living.
Alabaré is calling on supporters to join its BIG Sleep events:
Sign Up to The BIG Sleep Here“At Alabaré, we understand the importance of breaking the cycle of homelessness. Whether that’s through direct support to our clients, demanding welfare reform, or ensuring there are support mechanisms in place for when people stumble.”
“Supporting the BIG Sleeps will help Alabaré continue to provide homes, restore hearts, and empower the minds of veterans from London and across the UK, who are homeless or at risk of homelessness”, said Alabaré Chief Executive, Andrew Lord.
The commissioned piece by Pegasus will capture the spirit of solidarity, resilience, and hope that defines the BIG Sleep and Alabaré’s work with veterans.
This artwork is more than just visual impact — it’s a call to action. A reminder that behind every statistic is a person, and behind every person is a story worth hearing.
Pegasus said: “I’m really pleased to be working alongside Alabaré to spread the message about breaking the cycle of homelessness. I believe art can have the power to tell a story and stir emotions, and the charity’s values of treating others with care, compassion, honesty, and respect fit perfectly with my own views of encouraging kindness and love.”
The work will later be auctioned off to raise money for Alabaré’s services across the South West and Wales to help to break the cycle of homelessness.
James Tomlinson, Director of Strategic Communications, Alabaré, said:
“Pegasus’s work is poignant and emotive – often reflecting how society is feeling. We are surrounded by instability – globally and nationally. We owe our freedom to people who have and still do put their lives on the line, and we strongly believe that no veteran should call the streets their home. It’s a privilege that Pegasus has chosen to partner with Alabaré, highlighting our efforts to break the cycle of veteran homelessness.
Stand Up. Sleep Out. Break the Cycle.
Places to join the BIG Sleeps to break the cycle of veteran homelessness are limited.
Supporters are encouraged to sign up now to avoid disappointment.
