Admittance of Carers
Great News for Carers
After a recent review of the memberships and in the launch of a
range of new and more affordable packages (see above), Leisure and
Community Development at South Staffordshire Council have been
looking to further develop the Leisure Linx Scheme which is a
scheme which offers discounts on leisure activities for customers
in receipt of specific benefits. The Leisure Linx Card can
either be used on a Pay As You Go basis entitling customers to
discounts of up to 50% or alternatively there is now a Leisure Linx
Membership whereby for only £10 per month customers are entitled to
free and unlimited use of most leisure centre facilities from
Monday - Sunday 09.00 - 17.00.
This fantastic scheme has however been
developed even further and from 1st September, carers in receipt of
Carers Allowance or those registered with the Carers
Association are now able to qualify for the scheme.
Also, did you know that if you are not
a member of one of the Leisure Centres but are attending a swimming
session or fitness suite session with someone that you care for -
and you are attending in order to help them - you as the carer are
entitled to free entry in to the fitness suite and swimming pool
regardless of whether the session is a session specifically for
people with disabilities or just a public session!
