Families For Life | NFF @ Work

Promote a family-friendly culture at Work. Join us in harmoniously balancing work and family life!

Launched in 2003 by the Centre for Fathering (CFF) and held on the last Friday of each school term, Eat With Your Family Day (EWYFD) seeks to encourage organisations to allow employees to leave work early at 5pm to enjoy a meal with their children and families.

EWYFD is a quarterly event on the last Friday of the school term. The EWYFD dates for 2024 are as follows:

• 8 Mar 2024

• 24 May 2024

• 30 August 2024

• 15 November 2024

Find out how you can help your organisation practice EWYFD today. Your initiative serves as an encouragement for other companies to do likewise!
