Concessionary/Leisure Cards

Wherever you live, there are things to enjoy in your spare time, activities you can take part in and things you can do to make other people’s lives more enjoyable.

Local papers and libraries have details of special interest clubs and events in your area. Also local radio, Tourist Information Centres, town halls, sports centres, and shop windows are useful points of information.

It’s not always finding things to do that’s the problem – it’s affording them. Depending on your age or situation you may be able to take advantage of concessionary leisure offers eg. at sports centres & swimming pools. Theatres and cinemas also offer cheap tickets to students, or if you go as a member of a group, or sometimes on a particular night. Remember, before you pay any entrance fees or fares, ask whether there are discounts for young people, students, unemployed people or groups.
