If you have a disability and require support to use a facility, you can obtain a Companion Card. This entitles you to take a relative, friend or carer with you and they will also be entitled to discounts and, in some venues, free admission. This card is completely free of charge and can be used by whoever you wish to help you. Carers can also buy their own Band B card to use independently.
Pick up a Leisure Key leaflet from local libraries, Stockport Direct Centres and Recreation Centres.
