What is the Max Card Scheme?

The Max Card is provided to children and young people, living in Harrow, with special needs, whether it is a physical, sensory, or learning disability. The card is shown to certain venues/organisations as proof of your child’s disability. Families will also benefit from discounts at over 3000 attractions nationwide, including Legoland, Alton Towers, Go Ape, Butlins etc. A full list of supporting attractions can be seen at www.mymaxcard.co.uk. Please select an area e.g. London, to find out what attractions are available in that location. Visit their Facebook to find out about the latest offers: https://www.facebook.com/MyMaxCard

How do I apply for a card?

As a distributor, we have a responsibility to ensure the cards are to be issued to the right families. Therefore it is important you are registered with us –Special Needs Community. We will need to see proof that the child or young person has a special educational need or disability, (proof can include EHC plan, DLA, a doctor’s or CAMHS’ letter. Any parent or carer/guardian of a child or young person (up to the age of 25 years old) can apply for the card on their behalf. The card is registered in the child or young person’s name. The family must be a resident in Harrow (even if the child attends an out-of-borough school). If your child attends a Harrow school but you do not live in the borough, we cannot issue you a card. If you have paid online we will refund you £3.00 but charge you £1.49 for processing the refund. We do not profit from distributing the cards but incurred costs ourselves for processing payment.
