About
National Family Week is the UK's biggest annual celebration of family life aiming to highlight the importance of quality time together and promote the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle. Backed by all major political parties, National Family Week represents the largest coalition on family issues in the UK, working with hundreds of partners and supporters from major national charities to community organisations to help bring families together.
This year, thousands of record-setting, action-packed and fun-filled family events took place in every corner of the country and families everywhere enjoyed eating, learning, playing, exploring and getting out and active together. National Family Week 2010 made the summer half term holiday a walk in the park... a piece of cake... and a home run with everything from picnics in the park to large-scale sports days, huge giveaways, great competitions and loads of special offers for families to enjoy!
