📋 Tender Overview
The Passport to Leisure and Learning scheme could merge with Coventrys successful Go CV card if Councillors give their approval next week 7 April.Officers are recommending members of the Councils Cabinet formally approve that the Passport to Leisure and Learning scheme launched several years ago to help those on low incomes save money on health and wellbeing activities becomes part of the citys Go CV card scheme offering discounts to city of Coventry residents.Organisations which currently offer Passport to Leisure and Learning discounts such as adult education and parks would become part of the Go CV scheme. As part of this proposed change the Go CV card would offer the same reduced level of discount to those on qualifying benefits. This proposed move will not only simplify things by ensuring city residents only have to register or apply for one card in the future it also offers an added benefit for current Passport holders by giving access to a greater number of discounts.Councillor Kamran Caan Cabinet Member for Public Health and Sport said Were looking to improve access to leisure and learning by merging the Passport scheme with the popular Go CV scheme. This will ensure those residents who currently qualify for a Passport can still get the same access to discounted services as before and also enjoy with the discounts offered by other partners while only carrying one card.Clearly with the current COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and need to follow Government advice to stay at home and keep safe people cannot currently enjoy the benefits of either the Go CV or Passport to Leisure and Learning cards.But I believe it is important to look ahead positively and get things ready so that we can move very quickly once the national picture improves and residents will once again be able to pursue active lives across a range of great Coventry facilities and venues.The Go CV card scheme was launched in April 2019 and currently has around 45000 members. Some of the previous benefits have been exclusive ticket for the Champion of Champions Snooker reduced entry at The Wave and free entrance to the Coventry Transport Museum.
