The British Association of the Var was initially formed in April 1998 and today has over 550 members. It is a charitable association registered under the appropriate French 1901 loi association authority. 

We are a charitable organisation devoted to helping British people who have problems and the Welfare team helps those who encounter unexpected problems such as illness, accidents, bereavement or financial difficulties. See the separate Welfare section for a more detailed account of its function.
Regular social events are held in all parts of the Var and prove invaluable for introducing members to one another. They also provide a valuable means of raising funds to support the Welfare aims of the Association.

Membership provides a monthly Newsletter which provides details of both forth coming events and reports on activities that have taken place. It also has snippets of information which members should find useful when dealing with their daily French routine. We also provide a range of seasonal Christmas cards, notelets and an annual Members’ Address Book which is made available to members only, immediately following the associations AGM. Distribution is in March 

A Committee of eight members elected annually at the AGM directs the affairs of the Association  in accordance with its Statutes.
