HELLO Raring2go! turns 21 In 2026,Raring2go! proudly celebrates its 21st birthday and in so doing marks over two decades of being the Go-To Guide for Families looking for things to do,places to go and ways to make the most of family life locally. Since then many more magazines have been set up by mums and dads across the country, all looking to combine parenting with a flexible career. I took over the reins in 2014 becoming editor of the Wolverhampton & South Staffordshire magazine. Raring2go! has grown into a much-loved family magazine and website, trusted by parents, carers, schools and local businesses alike. Over the years we’ve supported thousands of local businesses, helped families plan brilliant days out and become a trusted source for everything from toddler groups to teen activities. As family life has changed, so have we, embracing digital alongside our much-loved magazines and continuing to evolve to meet the needs of modern families on the go. Turning 21 is a huge milestone and we couldn’t have done it without our wonderfully engaged community. A heartfelt thank you to our readers, advertisers, contributors, schools and local partners. Your support means everything to us and is the reason for our enduring success. So let’s raise a (family-friendly!) glass to 21 years of Raring2go! Here’s to the next chapter in our story!
