ALABARÉ is a leading UK charity committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness. Founded in 1991 by a Christian community, we are now a lifeline for those experiencing homelessness across the South West of England and Wales, by providing homes, restoring hearts, and empowering minds.

Story

We are taking a stand against homelessness by bedding down for one night at this beautiful venue in a single act of compassion to help save veteran lives. This is not for the faint hearted - we have previously run our BIG Sleep events even when temperatures have plummeted. The event promises to be a powerful, reflective and yet humbling experience as we bed down like those who are homeless. For us it will just one night, and in the morning we can return to our warm homes and comfortable beds.

The money raised will specifically fund our work to help more veterans off the street and welcome them into our Welsh veteran homes. We offer a range of support through 18 bed spaces in South Wales and a further 19 in North Wales.

Working alongside the veteran, we create opportunities for employment, training and education, so the veteran can live an independent live outside of the military community.
