Story

This year I have turned 50, and I wanted to mark it by facing my fears and raising money for our work with Veterans. Heights have always got the better of me in the past but not this year! I conquered The Spinnaker Tower on the 25th March, abseiling 110 meters and now i have signed up for the ultimate challenge- skydiving!

As the largest provider of dedicated accommodation for former serving Military Personnel outside of London, Alabaré has 124 beds in homes varying in size from 3 to 8 bedrooms across South England and Wales.  Each of the homes focuses on enabling the Veteran of all ages to overcome issues that have led them to become homeless. Many have been impacted by their time in the Military and need a wide range of support to enable them to transition from the Army, Royal Navy or RAF into civilian life. The support may include help to overcome issues around mental ill-health, transfer skills from Military to civilian employment, secure housing and learn to integrate into society.  Our approach includes building confidence, teaching life skills such as budgeting and giving a sense of value and purpose to Veterans who feel they have lost this.
