National Family Week 2009

...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
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
I am delighted to welcome National Family Week. It's full of practical ideas, and it will be great to see organisations from all sections of society join together to celebrate family life.
David Cameron MP, Leader of the Conservative Party
I am delighted to support National Family Week... By working with 4Children on the new Family Commission, I want to help ensure that families of all backgrounds and sizes get the help they need and are able to make positive choices about the future.
Esther Rantzen, CBE, Broadcaster, Campaigner and Chair of The Family Commission
I would not have been able to achieve half as much as I have without my family support. With a strong family you can achieve anything. I think it is important to make time for family and spend time together, for National Family Week, and every week.
Joe Swash, Actor
...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.
