Fund free leisure centre passes for secondary school students

Closed 29 signatures

What the petition asks

Leisure Centres are an often excellent but underused community resources. We want to see every secondary school student given a free leisure pass. Help young people access sport facilities to encourage health and hopefully prevent future anti-social behaviour.
We believe this policy could help in the fight against anti-social behaviour and serious youth violence. Giving children access to sports and leisure facilities for free from a young age will give them somewhere to go to do something positive, learn new skills, interact with potential mentors, or simply somewhere to go to stay warm and get out of the cold.
