Now in its third year, National Family Week is the biggest annual celebration of families and family life in the UK.
National Family Week is backed by all major political parties and over 180 national and thousands of not-for-profit organisations showcasing their work and support of families in their community, throughout the country and around the world.
The week creates a wealth of opportunity for families to spend time together and works with brand partners and a network of not-for-profit organisations to provide fun activities and useful resources that actively combat the biggest barriers to positive family life.
National Family Week 2010 saw over 5,000 events take place all over the country attracting more than 500,000 family members, and the campaign’s research raised mass awareness of issues impacting family life in the media, contributing to the Week receiving over 2,000 pieces of press coverage.
National Family Week is continuing to grow year on year and 2011 promises to be the biggest celebration of family life yet.
