“We have added additional categories this year – Best Family Attraction, Best Family Event of 2016 and Best New (family friendly) Business Launched Between January and December 2016. Again we are asking all families in the North East of Scotland to help us celebrate all the brilliant family-friendly places to go and things to do throughout Aberdeen City and Shire by nominating and voting for their favourites in any or all of our 13 categories.

“You can nominate any business you like for any relevant category, but it must have a registered address with an AB postcode and be one that welcomes families with open arms!”

Raring2go! Magazine is dedicated to helping local families have fun and to make the most of the local area – to eat, shop, visit and play locally.

Victoria added, “As a small local business ourselves, we are all about connecting local families and local businesses. We want a buzzing, thriving City and vibrant local towns with variety and lots to offer – and we are so lucky to live in an area with strong local towns and dynamic business people working towards this too. We are delighted to be recognising the best for families in our area with the launch of the Raring2go! Awards.”
