Away From It All (AFIA) is a Mothers' Union holiday Scheme, funded by Mothers' Union members, to help families or infividuals in need or experiencing stress and difficulties in their lives.
Each diocese decides its own priorities for allocating the funds raised locally. Holiday breaks of a week or a few days may be offered within the UK, dependent on individual needs
