29th March – Talk on Disaster in the Caribbean

Alabaré’s Wiltshire Ambassadors invite you to ‘Disaster in the Caribbean’; a fascinating talk by Lt Col Paul Maynard MA BSc RM on the humanitarian relief mission across the Caribbean in the wake of Hurricanes Irma and Jose. The evening will include an Introduction by Commodore Richard Lord CBE RN and be hosted by Commodore Miller CBE RN.

Lt Col Paul Maynard MA BSc assumed command of 40 Commando Royal Marines in March 2017. In September 2017, at just 12 hours’ notice, 40 Commando and Royal Engineers from 24 Commando Regiment were deployed to aid with the relief mission following the devastating effects of hurricanes across the Caribbean. He tells us how the events unfolded.

It will also include a linkage to those who need Alabaré’s support from the Venerable Stephen Robbins CB. All proceeds from the event will go toward Alabaré’s Homes for Veterans work. Alabaré is the largest provider of temporary accommodation and support for homeless Veterans in Wiltshire.

Pre-talk drinks will be served from 7pm, and raffle tickets will also be available to purchase at the event.
