Issue details

As part of Tendring District Council’s ongoing commitment to supporting local talent and promoting health and wellbeing, we are pleased to introduce the Aspiring Athletes Membership Scheme. This initiative is designed to support today’s and tomorrow’s athletes from across the district by providing them with complimentary access to our leisure centre facilities.
Scheme Overview:
The scheme will be open to young athletes who are identified and referred by local sports clubs, schools, and community organisations through an application process. Successful applicants will receive a free membership to Tendring District Council’s leisure centres, enabling access to training facilities, fitness classes, and swimming pools. A total n umber of up to 30 will be offered out annually and this number will be reviewed annually with the Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Open Space.
The concurrence letter elaborates on the key objectives, outlines the application and selection process, and specifies the expected outcomes.
