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.

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.

The closing date for entries is 31 July 2009.

National Family Week is backed by over 100 national organisations such as the NSPCC,
Save the Children, the Princes’ Trust, Relate, the TUC and the Football Association.
