Children and their families benefitting from free school meals can swim for free in seven Cornish leisure centres this Christmas.
In partnership with Active Cornwall and the Time2Move Holiday Programme, eligible families can enjoy free Swim for All and Family Fun swim sessions from Monday 23 December to Friday 3 January.
The Better leisure centres involved are Bude, Saltash, Bodmin, Newquay, Truro, Helston and St Ives. The swimming pools at St Austell and Liskeard leisure centres are currently closed for refurbishment.
GLL is the not-for-profit social enterprise that runs the centres on behalf of Cornwall Council.
“This is a great opportunity for families in receipt of benefits related to free school meals to get active and enjoy themselves this Christmas,” said Karen Edmond, GLL’s Community Sport Manager in Cornwall.
“It’s important to note that places can’t be booked online in advance and parents or guardians need to present their unique Time2Move voucher at reception when going for their swim. That will provide free access for the child and up to four people in their group.”
Eligibility can be checked by visiting the Active Cornwall website.
The Time2Move Holiday Programme is funded by the Department for Education. To check eligibility, visit the Active Cornwall website.
