Away from it All (AFIA) in Newcastle Diocese
Away From It All (AFIA) is a Mothers’ Union holiday scheme, primarily funded by our members, to give the opportunity of a break to those who may be experiencing stress or difficulties in their family life. Families are able to spend time together away from their stressful situations at home, engage in activities together and have fun. They often experience healing in their relationships by spending this quality time with each other.
AFIA Holidays in Newcastle Diocese
Mothers’ Union in Newcastle Diocese has always worked with outside agencies whose aims and values fit in with our own. This year our AFIA support will be given to a new partner, ReNEw North East, who organise holidays for families in need. John and Lena Stephenson from ReNEw gave us a very interesting talk about the work of the Charity at Diocesan Council in April. ReNEw is a Christian Charity which support young families in the North East.
