For children in care, your foster carers can contact your local leisure centre to find out what’s on offer and discuss what activity you would like to access. This could be anything from discounted entry or sports taster sessions to swimming sessions for children with additional needs or teenage gym membership.
Your foster carer may be asked to provide an email address for your social worker just to confirm you are in care. For unaccompanied asylum seeking young people living in shared accommodation, your PA can contact your local leisure centre in the same way as foster carers.
Care leavers aged 18-21 years are also able to access this leisure centre offer. You should contact the leisure centre directly to discuss what you would like to do. The Centre may ask you to provide a KCC email address for your PA to confirm you are eligible.
If you, your foster carer, social worker or PA have any issues, please email reconnect.kentcyp@kent.gov.uk or call 03000 423423.
