The 2023 Golden Pass programme is now OPEN!
The Golden Pass is aimed at inactive adults aged 60+ and aimed at supporting them to become active. This takes shape by providing individuals with a ‘free pass’ to join existing sessions in the community or at their local leisure centre, taking the financial barrier away from the participant, the Vale of Glamorgan will then reimburse the club/organisation, once the participant uses their ‘free pass’. The rationale behind this ‘free pass’ is that once the initial free sessions are finished, the participant will continue with the activity at the sessions of choice.
