For an administration fee of £5 the Cherwell link card offers 12 months half-price admission to all of our pools and gyms. The card also offers many other activities including ten-pin bowling in Bicester, and if you are a young person who has a link card, 50% discount on our holiday road shows.
Link card coverThere are eight benefits which qualify the recipient for the Link Card:
- Disability Living Allowance
- Attendance Allowance
- Industrial Disablement Allowance
- War Disablement Allowance
- Incapacity Benefit for more than 28 weeks
- Severe Disablement Allowance
- A 'blue badge' parking permit
The Cherwell link card is excellent value for money with the £5 administration fee recouped in just 3 swimming visits or 2 gym visits. Please see leaflet available as a download for full activities list and additional information.
If you apply for a card as a disabled person, discounts may be claimed by you personally and any carer you need to have in attendance. If a carer is required please attach proof of this to the application form.
