SAFE!


I'm currently making preparations to attend the SAFE School of Music and Drama, held later this year in Cheltenham. SAFE stands for The Salvation Army Fellowship of Endeavour, which provides help and support for those with disabilities and their carers. SAFE has about 1,000 members countrywide. The annual school of music and drama is a week of fun and fellowship in beautiful and fully accessible surroundings, where delegates and volunteer carers share in singing, brass band playing, drama, sport and craft activities.

I've got some experience in dealing with people with disabilities having spent three years working in the care industry, and feel increasingly drawn to explore this aspect of the Army's ministry as an Escort. From what I've learnt so far at DFL, this could be an important step for me this year.
