FAMILIES in Dorset can access a wide range of information this Christmas, including details of children’s activities, local childcare and parent support groups.

Dorset County Council’s Family Information Service offers support to parents and carers of children aged up to 19 (or up to 25 for young people with a disability) through its online directory.

From seeing what fun activities are on nearby, to finding local childcare, it is packed with information to help families all year round.

Go to www.dorsetforyou.com/aboutfis or call 01305 221066 for more information.
