Leisure centres in Harrow are offering free memberships to children in care.
The initiative includes Harrow Leisure Centre, Hatch End Swimming Pool and Bannister Outdoor Sports Centre – all of which are run by Everyone Active in partnership with Harrow Council.
In doing so, the operator hopes that young people in care can improve their physical health and mental wellbeing.
The complimentary membership for cared for children and care experienced young people can be accessed and set up through a referral system from local Council Family support teams.
John Sewell, Everyone Active’s area contract manager, said: “We are immensely proud to launch this partnership in Harrow.
“We understand the vital role we play in supporting all areas of the community and feel this membership will make a real difference to many young people’s lives.”
