2020 Annington Trust Family Break launched

04 March 2020

Come and join us again for SSAFA’s family fun-filled adventure break! This is a free mid-week residential, open exclusively to military families with children who have additional needs and disabilities – and siblings are welcome too.

Running from Monday 26 October - Friday 30 October 2020 at The Calvert Trust, there are 60 spaces available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Calvert Trust is a fully accessible centre which “enables people with physical, learning, behaviour and sensory disabilities to experience exciting, challenging and enjoyable outdoor activities.” The aim is to give military families the opportunity to spend quality time together whilst challenging themselves through outdoor activities and seeing each other achieve. 

I want to say thank you for this opportunity. Normally I wouldn’t think of doing an activity trip, because I need to think of the whole family. But I would recommend this to everyone.
