Royal Parks Marathon 11th October 2009
After the success of last year, the FANY team will be running again.
The Corps was formed in 1907 with the purpose of assisting the Military and Civil authorities in times of Emergency. Society, and the place of women within it, has changed phenomenally in one hundred years but the Corps' mission and purpose remain substantially unchanged.
The FANY is still a voluntary organisation, based on principles of duty and integrity, self discipline and collaboration; always on call, FANYs are resourceful and unique women, who come from all walks of life, and are united in their aim to be of service in whatever capacity is asked of them.
To provide response teams in support of the Civil and Military authorities within London during a major event or incident; UK wide for planning and exercise roles.
A Corps trained and capable of assisting the Civil and Military authorities UK wide as required during major events and incidents; specialist support on-going in certain areas.
