Go4Life cheque book scheme - free access to North Somerset leisure centers

Over 100 partners continue to refer individuals to the Go4Life Chequebook scheme which offers limited free access to North Somerset leisure centres.

Examples of individuals being referred include those:
  • Recovering from substance misuse
  • Receiving a service targeted at people with disabilities or prescribed physical conditions
  • Receiving a service specifically targeted at people with mental health conditions
  • With a BMI of 30 or above
  • Receiving health care on a long term basis
In the last six months (April to September) 228 individuals have been referred to the scheme by GPs, health trainers, support workers, mental health workers, recovery support agencies and supported housing associations.

Any North Somerset partners supporting individuals who would benefit from regular exercise can refer to the scheme. For more information visit the Chequebook Scheme webpage.

For further information about any of the above, please contact the Sport and Active Lifestyles team on 01275 882 730, email sport@n-somerset.gov.uk or visit Go4Life
