In partnership with the Royal British Legion, Alabare' Christian Care and Support have opened a half way house for Veterans in Plymouth. With Life Change UK and the Langley House Trust, over the next 2 years it is planned that the concept be further developed to provide rehabilitation centres for Veteran offenders as an alternative to custody and probation.
This all fits well with the PM's emphasis on the Military Covenant and the Ministry of Justice drive to reduce the prison population and engage with Third Sector organisations.
An introduction to Alabare's current work with veterans can be seen here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AUKHW40zYk
Reducing re-offending and social exclusion through innovative training; promoting increased understanding, personal change and skill sets necessary when working with marginalised groups, challenging behaviour and poor motivation. Promoting public debate surrounding the reduction of crime and re-offending, particularly former military veteran offenders. Engaging society and encouraging greater understanding and responsibility.
