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. Sign up now to SSAFA’s Family Break in Exmoor, supported by Annington Trust, for a 4-night break for military families with additional needs children.
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.
A previous attendee of SSAFA’s Family Break:
“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.”

- Horse riding
- Kayaking
- Biking
- Sailing
- Archery
- Abseiling
- Bush craft
- Low ropes

Notes to editors
SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has been providing lifelong support to our Forces and their families since 1885. In 2018, our teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 82,000 people in need, from Second World War veterans to those who have served in more recent conflicts, and their families. SSAFA understands that behind every uniform is a person. And we are here for that person – any time they need us, in any way they need us, for as long as they need us.
