Charity event raises £30,000 to homeless and vulnerable veterans
A charity event raised £30,000 to support homeless and vulnerable veterans. The fundraiser, organised by Alabaré, took place at the Everyman Cinema and featured a talk by international author Damien Lewis. Lewis, known for his best-selling books on the military, spoke about the early missions of the SAS during the Second World War. The event was organised with the help of Handelsbanken and Trethowans, inviting people from across the community to attend. The audience was treated to stories about the daring Operation Postmaster, one of the earliest covert operations by the SAS.

Mr Lewis said: "Alabaré carry out vital work with the veteran's community across Britain, something that is very dear to my heart. "As someone who has myself been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, from my days as a war reporter, I understand the challenges all who have served on the front line face. "Alabaré endeavour to make the world a better place for all those who have sacrificed a great deal in defence of the freedoms we cherish today." The night also featured an auction led by John Axford, chairman of Woolley & Wallis and a familiar face from BBC's Antiques Roadshow. Auction items included a replica of Colonel Blair 'Paddy' Mayne's SAS medals, a bottle of SAS signature port and the chance to name a character in Lewis's next book. Alabaré CEO Andrew Lord said: "It was a fantastic evening with a truly inspirational speaker. "Damien brought to life the incredible bravery of the original SAS and reminded us of the sacrifices made. "We're deeply grateful to him, to our co-hosts Handelsbanken and Trethowans who brought invaluable support." The money raised will help Alabaré continue its work to provide housing, support, and care for veterans across their homes. Many of these veterans face challenges such as mental health issues, PTSD and homelessness after their military service.
