Max Card

So what is the Max Card?

The Max Card is a discount card for foster families and families of children with additional needs. Families simply show their Max Card upon entry to a venue in order to obtain free or discounted admission.

The scheme is designed to help these families save money on great days out at castles, zoos, bowling alleys and more.

We aim to provide a sense of community through stimulating learning experiences and enjoyable days out for everyone.

The Max Card is FREE to families in Oxfordshire and has been funded by Oxfordshire County Council working in partnership with Oxfordshire Parent Carers Forum (OPCF).

If you would like to register for a card, please contact Michelle at OPCF michelleevans@carersoxfordshire.org.uk or email Pauline (Oxon FIS Disability Information Officer - pauline.mackinnon@oxfordshire.gov.uk
