"Our Central Park fun-day will provide a full day of activities to show just how many benefits there are available to @ctive card members."

The cost of joining the @ctive card scheme varies according to each applicant's employment status. The @ctive card is open to everyone whether or not they live within Peterborough City Council's administrative area.
