Alabaré is warning of an increasing crisis in veterans’ homelessness, as Government figures show one in every 400 former military personnel is classed as homeless.
An estimated 6,000 veterans across the UK require urgent support for accommodation, with concerns that many more could be ‘hidden homeless’.
Alabaré has received more than 350 referrals in the last year, representing a 122% increase in demand compared to 2024, while across England, the overall number of people sleeping rough has risen by 91% in the last three years.
Alabaré Homes for Veterans offers supported living in several locations across the South West of England and Wales.
We provide homes, restore hearts, and empower minds through access to safe, stable accommodation, mental health support, and pathways to independence for veterans in crisis.
Sleep Out to Help Out
Your support for Alabaré is needed more than ever, and the charity is calling on the community to join us at our BIG Sleep Stonehenge event to show solidarity and compassion for those who’ve served and are at a crisis point.
Supporters are asked to experience just a taste of what it’s like to sleep rough by spending a night at the iconic World Heritage site on Friday, 14 November.
Places are limited to 200 people, and it’s also the first time an event of this kind has been open to the public at the ancient monument.
Each participant is asked to commit to raising at least £175 to help break the cycle of veterans’ homelessness.
