This weekend we celebrate the first short breaks weekend of the year. Arriving today at Calvert Lakes in the Lake District, we welcome 10 families for a weekend where they can reconnect and spend quality time together - making memories that last a
lifetime.
SSAFA’s Short Break scheme has been bringing families together for more than ten years. Offering a safe and inclusive time away for serving – and reservist – families who have a child with an additional need or disability, whether these are physical, behavioural, emotional, mental health or a combination of the above, these weekends are at the heart of SSAFA.
