agazine a useful I find Families m s e because it give tool for family lif s on family days me loads of idea lpful articles on out as well as he was an article a parenting. There on confidence few months ago n as well as for young childre ilies which was separation in fam very helpful. rd, Ipswich Jessica, Bramfo

Families is a useful tool because it contains articles and information about real family life, not just fun days out. It has a wide range of activities on offer throughout the county and successfully engages as many families as possible. We love browsing through the magazine and deciding on where we might go together, and sharing our ideas with friends and family. We’re very likely to respond to a piece of advertising in the magazine because it is far more information based rather that selling and that is what we prefer so we can make an informed choice. Emily, Stowmarket

Me and my family of 4 live in Ipswich. Families magazine allows me to see what current and loca l family activities are available to me in my area, it’s ideal to have something to pick up and flick through when the children allow me a 5 minute read with a cup of tea, and I value them seeing me pick up a magazine over looking through my phone for ideas any day! The kids will always have a look too and show me their rea ding skills. The regular articles also serve as nice quick inspirational reads geared to family life. Perfect ! Larisa, Ipswich

We find Families magazine a very useful tool for our family life as we have 3 children, age 9, 5 and 2. It can be difficult to find activities for weekends and school holidays where all 3 children can be entertained as either the eldest or youngest is often left out. Families magazine gives us lots of ideas, sometimes giving discounts or ays detailing free events (which is alw ily a bonus with 3 children as a fam outing can get very expensive!). we Families magazine is also great as often find places to go and services re. that we hadn’t known about befo Hallie, Saxmundham.
