National Family Week is the largest celebration of family life in the UK. With thousands of events - as well as competitions and special offers – we’re encouraging families to eat, read, play, explore and get active together in the summer half term holidays.
A whole host of charities, community groups, councils, sporting associations and faith groups are supporting National Family Week, not to mention celebrities, politicians and family experts. Without their support National Family Week would not be possible.
We've trawled the web to find the most indispensible websites for parents - everything you need to know to enjoy a happy, healthy family life is just a click away.
From picnics and story times to record-setting sports days as well as HUGE giveaways, competitions and loads of special savings, there’ll be events for every family to enjoy in National Family Week.
The UK’s first ever National Family Week ran in May 2009. Families all over the country enjoyed over 4,000 record-setting, action-packed, fun-filled family events from story telling to sports days. The Stevens family were crowned the Family of the Year.
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
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 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
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. 
Sally Gunnell OBE, Olympic Gold Medalist
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
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.
