Local families want to know!

Local families are asking – can you help?

Thousands of families across Herefordshire and Worcestershire want to know about local providers.

Parents and children may want to take up a new hobby, maybe learn an instrument, learn a new sport, or polish up on some skills. Their children may want to try a new club or class, and need some inspiration – they will only give it a try if they hear about it!

They are planning birthdays and parties. They want to know about local birthday cake makers, entertainment, venue hire, and gift ideas.

Parents are encouraged to plan ahead for their family, to ensure that even if the most negative ‘what if’ situations arise, their family is protected. Law, pensions and wills are part of this – can you provide the advice and services they need?

While parents strive to ensure their children can access the best additional support they may need, be that in their studies, or with their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, finding the right providers can be difficult.

And around all this busy family life ‘stuff’, families are planning their weekend activities, school holidays, where to go, what to do, and they need to know what’s on. Many parents are also planning what they would like to do if and when they get a much deserved night off from the kids!

Of course, lots of these families also have pets in need of grooming or walking, training or being cared for while the family are away.

Do you offer something that these thousands of local families should know of?

The Raring2go! Hereford & Worcester quarterly magazine goes home in the bookbags of thousands of local primary school children, and offers the ideal opportunity for you to let them know all about you!

And its not just the magazine. Parents visit the website to find out what’s on, search for party providers, local clubs, local service providers, activities, places to go, and much more.
