National Family Week 2010 |
 How Will You Take Part?
At the end of May next year, the country’s second-ever National Family Week will take place, encouraging people across the country to celebrate being part of a family, whatever shape or size. National Family Week would like you to support this campaign and join with hundreds of other organisations in promoting The Week through your networks and consider hosting a Family Week Sports Day or activity during National Family Week.
National Family Week aims to highlight the important role families play in society and encourage healthy active lifestyles and quality family time. It is the largest coalition on family issues and is backed by all major political parties and a huge range of national charities, local authorities, community groups and sporting associations including England Athletics, the FA, RFU, ECB and the LTA, plus a whole host of celebrities including sporting champions, Sally Gunnell and Rebecca Adlington.
The inaugural National Family Week which took place between the 25th and 31st May this year saw over 4,000 events happening across the country and received a considerable level of media attention appearing in a number of national and hundreds of regional newspapers plus on national and regional TV and radio. National Family Week 2010 is to run between the 31st May and 6th June, with the Family Week Sports Day taking place on Saturday 5 June, and aims to be even bigger and better, engaging with thousands more families.
Why not be a part of it and run your own Family Week Sports Day or activity of your choice, giving families in your community the opportunity to learn about and enjoy playing sports together, encouraging a more active lifestyle and also giving you the opportunity to promote your services to families.
It is a great opportunity to run a community-focused event, whilst tying in with your objectives - whether a fundraiser for your club or a charity of your choice, to generate ticket sales for the following season, or to encourage grassroots sports.
For the larger events, it is possible you could become one of our flagship events for Scotland where we would provide support in a number of ways including PR support, promotional materials for marketing and encouraging our celebrity supporters to attend.
If a sports day is not something you are able to cater for, why not provide family discounts and offers, open your doors for taster sessions or simply promote National Family Week through your marketing materials directing people to the website (www.nationalfamilyweek.co.uk) from March next year to find out more about events happening in their area.
