Alabaré welcomed the Mayor of Amesbury, Cllr Dr Monica Devendran, to two of the charity's local services on Thursday, 12th June.
She’s been seeing the difference that Alabaré's Veteran Self-Build programme and Learning Disabilities homes are making in the lives of clients.
The Self-Build project at Ludgershall’s Drummond Park enables formerly homeless ex-service personnel to get hands-on experience with creating new homes that will eventually be available to them for independent living through our partners in housing associations.
The efforts of veterans to acquire new skills and build confidence are also aimed at preparing them for future employment in the construction industry.
Amesbury’s Mayor has also visited an Alabaré home in the town, which supports clients with Learning Disabilities.
Cllr Devendran spent some time with residents and staff, hearing about efforts to help residents live as independently as possible.
The Mayor described the visits as ‘moving and uplifting, showcasing the compassionate ethos at the heart of Alabaré’s work’, saying:
“When we invest in people and believe in their potential, we don’t just rebuild homes — we rebuild hope, dignity, and purpose.”
An Alabaré spokesperson said: “We’re grateful to the Mayor for taking the time to learn more about our work.
“The Veteran Self-Build and Learning Disabilities homes are wonderful examples of how we’re aiming to support those in marginalised communities to live happy, healthy and independent lives.”
