Scheme to give bereaved Army families a holiday

BEREAVED armed forces families will have the chance to take a much needed holiday this summer under a scheme launched today.

The Families Activity Breaks (FAB) project aims to send up to 100 groups away to destinations across the country.

Volunteers from the three services and defence civilians will help run the initiative, piloted last year, by lending a hand or simply providing a sympathetic ear for the grieving wives, sons and daughters.
