Leisure Discount from your Council

We've listed some Councils below to show you examples of the discount cards/ schemes that are available for disabled residents. We are unable to list every council here, but we suggest you get in touch with the 'Leisure, Culture and Tourism' department of your local council to find out what kind of discounts they have in place.

Examples of Discount Leisure Schemes:

Sheffield City Council - Slice Discount Leisure Card

The Slice Card is a discount card offering significant savings on swimming and sports activities in pools, sports centres, golf courses and parks across Sheffield, and also selected sites in Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham.

For casual swimming, the card will guarantee at least a 30% saving at all times. Discounts for swimming lessons may vary (for further details, contact your local facility).

For many other recreation activities such as golf, bowls, squash, tennis, badminton etc. it will guarantee at least 15% savings on weekday evenings and weekends, and at least 30% savings at other times. The card will cost you £3.00 and is valid for12 months.

The Slice Card is controlled by Sheffield City Council. Children under the age of 5 years enjoy free access to swimming and sports activities and therefore do not need to apply for the card.
