Most of this work is done through Alabaré Christian Care Centres, which have been established over 13 years. It required the vision and faith of only a small number (5) to get it off the ground but could not continue without the prayer, love, care and support of a huge band of people. So huge we cannot even count up those we have depended upon in this journey to date.

The Care Centres now have over 175 paid and a further 90 volunteer staff but there are the hundreds and possibly thousands who have contributed funds over the last 10 years.

The Community Family of Prayer has now grown to around 32 people from a few months to 80 years of age and all bring their own gifts to our work.
The projects outlined show how our work has extended well beyond the boundaries of Wiltshire into Bristol, Somerset, Hampshire and Kennet.
Our work need not stop here. Indeed even to continue, it will require ongoing funding, but it is not only financial assistance, we need more volunteers. We need skilled individuals to help develop work experience programmes. If you have time and a drive to help others, then please come and talk to us.

We are enthusiastic about working with the Churches in Bristol and Clevedon and hope that not only the Care Centres but also the Community will be established there. We are focusing initially on working with ex offenders, men recovering from addiction and women leaving drug addiction and prostitution.

A special thank you to the growing number of Church Communities throughout the South West who are supporting us in our work. It is one example where working together we can make a big impact on the massive problem in our country at present.

With our current pace of development this short history will be out of date by the time you read it but we hope it gives you an insight into Alabaré and all it does.
