Falkirk councillors have agreed to expand a leisure scheme for people on low incomes to include care-experienced young people and asylum seekers.
The council's Go Card - a concessionary card offering free or discounted access to council-run leisure services - will be relaunched as Go Card PLUS in a bid to help more people living in poverty stay healthy and well during the cost of living crisis.
At a meeting of Falkirk Council's executive today (Tuesday) councillors agreed that offering free or low-cost entry to leisure facilities, including swimming, would help people on very low incomes stay healthy and well.
