Centre For Fathering’s Eat With Your Family Day (EWYFD) is back for an 11th run. This year, EWYFD has been set for 31 May. Schools and organisations can now show their support for family life by registering for the annual event, and releasing staff early for the day.
Today’s society has caused us to be so caught up in our own agenda that sometimes our families have lost their priority in our lives. It is ironic when parents work so hard to put food on the table, but have no time to share with their family. Centre for Fathering wants to stress the importance of regular family meals. Family cohesion and unity starts with a conscious effort in being there for the family, be it a day out, an active role in your children’s life or something as simple as the Asian culture of sharing a meal with your family.
Since its inception in 2003, EWYFD has increasingly gained support from schools and companies year after year. In 2012, some 164,696 people from 403 companies, schools and government organisations participated in the event. This year, we hope to gain the support of more than 400 organisations, and surpass 200,000 participants.
We invite you to take up the torch and spearhead this event in your company. To encourage you staff to spend time with their family by releasing them by 5pm on 31st May 2013 to have dinner with their family.
