Think Money Travel Guide – Staffordshire

Coca-Cola Great Britain Parklives – Super fun in Brum
Earlier this year, Coca-Cola Great Britain launched its Parklives programme, in partnership with Active Parks Birmingham. This is a programme that has created hundreds of fun and free activity sessions designed with getting people out into the great outdoors in order to get fit and active, whilst enjoying a little socialising too.
