Unpaid carers across Lancashire are being helped to get fit and healthy.

Lancashire County Council, in partnership with district councils and local leisure trusts, has produced a “passport to leisure” card specifically for carers.

The cards are available to anyone in Lancashire who looks after or provides help to someone with an illness or a disability who couldn’t manage on a day-to-day basis without that additional support.

The aim is to give carers’ health and wellbeing a boost by offering discounts on leisure activities across the county.

Carers can use the card to enjoy reduced charges for activities such as swimming, golf, racquet sports, gym and Zumba.
