Update: We are delighted to share the news that our veterans self-builders have moved into their own homes in time for Christmas - read more here...

Since our Veterans Self-Build Scheme in Leominster was completed, we have been able to measure the social value gained through this innovative scheme.  A comprehensive report and evaluation have been carried out by our Veterans Self-Build COO Major Ken Hames.  To read Ken's report click here.

Leominster Development

Alabaré began working on projects with CBSA in July 2019, the first of which is in Leominster, Herefordshire. The scheme will see a total of nine Armed Forces Veterans assist in the construction of 19 new affordable homes made up of 10 one-, two- and three-bedroom houses and nine one- and two-bedroom apartments, which the veterans will be given the chance to live in upon completion which is anticipated in December 2020.

Waterworks Lane (now Nordon Mews) is a collaboration between Alabaré Community Self Build Agency, Stonewater Housing and The Royal British Legion.

Work began on site in September 2019, with the veteran self-builders beginning work on the project in January 2020. The blockwork and foundations have begun to be put in place with scaffolding and timber due to be installed shortly.
