Homeless veterans have built their own houses under a charity scheme run by a special forces veteran.
Six previously homeless veterans have completed a self-build scheme of 19 affordable dwellings in Leominster, Herefordshire, and will be enjoying Christmas in their new homes.
Each veteran has secured a new house for themselves and their families through a partnership between the charity, Alabaré, Hereford Council and Stonewater, a housing association.
The remaining houses will be used by the local authority.
