    East Staffordshire BC do a leisure pass which gives a hefty discount to people on benefits and those who receive tax credits.

    Usual price for swimming for an adult at peak time is £2.90, its only £1.45 with the leisure pass, gym is £4.20, with the LP its only £2.20. Well worth it! :T

    then click on leisure pass.

    it can also be used in Swadlincote and Uttoxeter.

    Forms need to be filled in and proof of what you are receiving taken. Card is issued at the time and is able to be used immediately.

    Hope this helps someone!!
