"Marriage - A winning Formula?" - National Marriage Week

Now established in its fifth year, National Marriage Week will once again this year be at the start of February. The official launch will be 8th Feb at the Commonwealth Club in Central London - it's by invitation only, so if you want to be there contact Richard Kane, Future Trust's Director. There will be contributions from leading national figures, and of course, a glass of champagne to celebrate!

As always, the week provides a real opportunity for workers in the field to be seen and heard, and to really engage with the national debate on marriage. This year's event is sponsored by Premier Radio, so it should receive loads of air time and attention with their wide coverage in London and the South East, nationally through Sky digital, and globally accessible live web-feed.

This year National Marriage Week is encouraging couples and organisations to sign up to a simple "Marriage Charter". Why not, as partners to 2-in-2-1, download the charter now, circulate it to all the couples you are in contact with, and let's get the charter as a really powerful voice from the people of the UK!
