Passport to Active Living
Regular healthy exercise can play a big part in making our lives much more enjoyable. Just 30 minutes a day can make all the difference. It helps increase mobility and can improve health and well-being dramatically.
Passport to Active Living is a membership scheme run by Rossendale Leisure Trust to enable people on low incomes to access activities at participating leisure facilities between 7am and 6pm.
The membership entitles the holder, whose photograph will be recorded, to reduced admission prices at participating centres and up to 30% off the price of coached activities, such as inductions, aerobics, holiday play schemes and a host of other sessions.
