Max Cards

The Max Cards that were issued to foster carers 2 years ago are due to expire in June 2017.  Funding has been agreed to continue with the scheme and if you wish to have a further max card, please email the fosterpanel-mailbox@devon.gov.uk to confirm you wish to continue with the scheme by Friday 21st April 2017 and we will arrange for a new card to be issued to you.

 

Please visit the Max Card website (www.mymaxcard.co.uk) for a list of activities and attractions where the card can be used.
