 Stephanie Neill shared this issue’s photo of her son Alex Neill and grandson Ciaran Russell-Wood, both i-go cardholders.
She said, “We visited Paradise Park during the Easter Holiday where we got in for half price with the i-go cards.The boys had a great time seeing the dinosaurs and experiencing an earthquake in the museum.
"As it was Easter we did the Easter Bunny Hunt which was great fun but they especially loved the train and the play park.”
Thank you, Stephanie.

In May we asked for your views on Parent Voice newsletter in our short survey. Thank you to those who took part. We received seven responses.
They all felt the information was ‘useful’ or ‘sometimes useful’. Everyone felt Parent Voice is easy to access and said the frequency (about every two months) is about right. There was a mix of preferences for future content. The most popular were support information, leisure and health.
