BIG: An announcement was made by National Family Week (25-31 May 2009), at LEGOLAND Windsor to launch the new Big Family Idea competition to find the best new ideas to improve family life - with £150,000 from the Big Lottery Fund to make the winning idea a reality.
The idea could be aimed at improving family life in their street, in their town or across the whole country. It might be a product, service, event, campaign or a great social idea. The winner will get to discuss their idea with senior political figures, and £150,000 of Big Lottery Fund good causes money will be used to turn the winning idea into reality. Competition closes on 31 July 2009..
In the survey conducted for National Family Week, over half (52%) of parents said that they did not spend enough quality time together as a family. For example, they wanted to be able to have more meals together (60%), play games together more (54%) and do more educational things together (64%).
