The following is issued on behalf of the Family Council:

     The Family Council, the Home Affairs Bureau (HAB) and Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) jointly held the "Love Your Family More" parent-child sports day this afternoon (July 24). It was the key event of the "Love Your Family More" Campaign, which aims to promote family core values. This year's theme is to encourage the public to face challenges with family members together and support each other through the ups and downs of life, so as to enhance the resilience and adaptability of the family.

     The Chairman of the Family Council, Professor Daniel Shek; the Deputy Secretary for Home Affairs, Mr Laurie Lo; and other guests spent an exciting, warm and pleasant afternoon with families and Solar Ambassadors at the parent-child sports day. Professor Shek said he hoped that the sports day would help encourage the public to do more exercise with their family members in order to enhance family relationships and work-life balance.

     In addition to the sports day, the Council, the HAB and RTHK will organise a series of promotional activities including radio programmes, a variety show and video-cum-radio programmes in the next few months to promote family core values and remind family members to remain optimistic in the face of adversity.

     The public are welcome to visit the Happy Family Info Hub (www.familycouncil.gov.hk) established by the Council for details of the campaign and other upcoming programmes.
