The Council has launched a new Concession card available for use at The Dolphin Centre, Civic Theatre, Arts Centre, Eastbourne Sports Complex and Stressholme Golf Club. Those eligible will receive 25 % off the cost of various popular activities at these locations.
The new scheme replaces the old 'leisure saver' card and is available to:
-
Those in receipt of a means tested benefit, including the following:
i) Housing Benefit
ii) Council Tax Benefit
iii) Working Tax Credit
iv) Guarantee Credit part of Pension Credit
v) Income Support
vi) Income-based Job Seekers Allowance
-
Senior Citizens over the age of 60 years
-
Asylum seekers
-
Full time students over the age of 16 years
-
Children in the care of the Council
-
Children under 16 years of age of people who qualify under the above categories
-
Carer - an accompanying adult who is providing caring support for another person with any kind of physical, sensory or mental impairment including learning disability
-
People with a disability
The new initiative uses swipe card technology, with users’ photographs taken and stored on the system so their cards cannot be used by anyone else.
