Our supporters
I really hope that National Family Week encourages people to take a moment to realise the importance of the people they have around them. Even if you do not have any direct family, friends and colleagues can be great sources of strength. I am in full support of this national initiative and the message that it is spreading.
Amanda Holden, Britain's Got Talent Judge
Balancing my role as a husband and father of two with a hectic schedule is never easy, but being a family man is so rewarding. I look forward to taking part in National Family Week and encouraging others to do the same.
Antony Worrall Thompson, Celebrity Chef
...With busy schedules, it can be difficult to find enough quality time to spend together, but it is this time that is the most precious and rewarding to us... We look forward to the UK's first National Family Week and joining families of all shapes and sizes in celebrating the treasured institution that is The Family.
Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan
...I have always had a strong family support and I am so grateful to have had this... During this week, families in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales should get together and take time out as a family... I can think of no better excuse than a big picnic, or family feast to get everyone rounded up.
Sian Lloyd, Presenter
My Family are the most important thing to me. I am so lucky to have such a marvellous wife, children and grandchildren... I think National Family Week is a great initiative that will encourage families to come together and realise how important every part of the family is.
Sir Terry Wogan, Radio and Television Broadcaster
Encouraging families to get active is a subject very close to my heart, so I am thrilled and delighted to be able to show my support for National Family Week.
