Mission: To provide accommodation for ex-Service men or women in a safe and supportive environment enabling them to make life changes and develop their skills so that they are able to live independently.

Alabaré's Home for Veterans in Gosport offers supported housing with advice to people who are experiencing difficulties after leaving military service. Staff at the house offer support with a range of complex issues including for some, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or drug and alcohol dependency. Each client is assigned a Key Worker who will help them draw up an Individual Support Plan based on their particular needs.

This project opened in August 2011 with funding from many generous donors including Seafarers UK.

Outcomes for clients

1. Having the skills and confidence to move on to independent accommodation.
2. The ability to positively manage their tenancy and home.
3. Identifying, pursuing and enjoying their aspirations through training, education, employment and hobbies.
4. The ability to build constructive and positive relationships within the community.
5. An increased awareness around physical and mental well-being.
