Discount scheme young people with disabilities is launched

The Wiltshire Passport is a discount card that is being given as an incentive for young people with disabilities who register with the “The Key” - an online register that keeps young people and their parents up to date on services in the area. 

By joining the scheme young people will automatically receive the Wiltshire Passport, which will entitle them to receive small discounts and additional services at all participating businesses.

The scheme has been developed by Wiltshire Council in partnership with Carer Support Wiltshire, the Wiltshire Parent Carer Council, ASK and carers.

Already all Wiltshire Council and DC leisure centres have signed up to the scheme as well as 16 businesses from across Wiltshire.  These include a florist, a petrol station and food store, take away food retailers and restaurants, hair and beauty salons, a garage, an independent living retail store, carpet cleaning services and an electrical goods retailer.

They are all supporting the scheme through offering discounts of up to 30 percent off their services. 

And individuals holding a Wiltshire Passport will automatically be eligible for the council’s Leisurecard, a 'show and go' discount scheme that enables people to access their leisure centres at discounted prices.

All participating businesses and organisations display a sticker in their windows, at tills or entrance doors to publicise that the Wiltshire Passport is accepted.

People can also find a full list of participating businesses at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/wiltshirepassport
