The Big Lottery Fund is offering the £150,000 prize for the Big Family Idea competition to find the best new ideas to improve family life.
Launched as part of National Family Week (25-31 May), The Big Family Idea is open to anyone in the UK. They might have been working on family policy for decades, or be someone of any age, from any walk of life, who just comes up with a brilliant idea.
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.
