Our Leisure Access Card

The Leisure Access Card is a free discount card that helps residents save money when visiting local attractions, going to the gym, swimming, or at The Capitol in Horsham. It's completely free and you can apply in just a few minutes.

To get a Leisure Access Card you need to live within the Horsham District boundaries and be in receipt of an income-based benefit, or be a full- time student aged 16 or over.

Please check your eligibility today via the Council website.

Free School Meals

Your child could be eligible for Free School Meals, which also means a grant for your child’s school to support their education. If you receive a benefit, please check if you are eligible via West Sussex County Council website or call Horsham’s Citizens Advice Outreach team for support on: 01903 252 699

If you are eligible for free school meals, your child will also be able to access free holiday activities and food (HAF) programmes.
