Belinda Forsythe MBE

FAB was conceived in early 2008 when the Army Widows' Association approached the MOD hoping for more support for them and their families. Belinda Forsythe MBE, was working in Main Building at the time and this came across her desk.

Belinda and her team immediately began gathering ideas and seeing what it was that she could do that would demonstrate to our bereaved Military families that we still cared about them, that they weren’t forgotten, whilst hoping to actually help them at the same time.

FAB was born!

Families’ Activity Breaks ran as a highly successful pilot in the summer of 2009 where 24 families attended at two locations - Coverack in Cornwall and Whitby in North Yorkshire.

We have continued to grow from strength to strength, offering more families the opportunity to attend a FAB camp at different locations throughout the UK.
