National Family Week

FCFCG is supporting the UK’s first National Family Week in 2009, which aims to get families spending more time together for the benefit of themselves and their communities. Organisers of the week, which takes place in May, say good family relationships are vital to help everyone achieve and thrive, and that strong, happy families make strong, healthy communities. Fun events and activities for families will be happening during the week of May half term in parks and community gardens, at visitor attractions, leisure centres, schools, in community centres and shopping centres.
