Big Day Out

 

image of red balloonsAs part of Contact a Family's 30th birthday celebrations the Big Day Out will encourage and facilitate families with disabled children to get out and about and enjoy play and leisure together throughout the month of August.

Our latest research shows that the opportunity to enjoy play and leisure together for families with disabled children is poor or unsatisfactory. The Big Day Out hopes to change that and we would like to see as many families as possible outdoors and taking part in a picnic together, visiting a local attraction, going to the beach or nearby beauty spot or popping along to your nearest cinema.

We have developed a toolkit to help families across the UK organise a Big Day Out Picnic throughout August – a simple and inexpensive way of enjoying play and leisure time together as a family. The toolkit includes hints and tips for organising your Big Day Out Picnic as well as games ideas for children and adults to enjoy during the picnic, delicious recipes and suggestions for covering your costs and fundraising for Contact a Family.
