This New Year we are asking readers to make a resolution to be more fun. Action for Children has launched National Children’s Hour, a new campaign to build memorable childhoods for all, and we are encouraging parentsto ask their children what they want to do with their time and embrace their lovely, and probably quite amusing, ideas.

Action for Children is offering a free-to-download activity pack with fun ideas from some of the 300,000 children and young people it supports.

The activities are not only entertaining; they’re proven to help children develop too. Download the pack from actionforchildren.org.uk/nch to join in the fun.
