Over Twenty Thousand Residents Sign Up For The Greenwich One Card

The council’s all in one discount and leisure card has made it to the 20,000 mark.

Passing this milestone means more people than ever are getting the most out of the borough’s facilities as well as a wide range of discount in local businesses across the borough.

Since the launch of the Greenwich One Card in November over 21,000 have now signed up, giving them access to leisure facilities including using the gyms and swimming pools, as well as the boroughs libraries.

Greenwich One Card is a membership scheme combining access to The Royal Borough’s leisure and library services with a discount scheme in local shops and businesses.

More than over 14,000 of those are signing up to use our facilities for the first time including the gym, swimming pool and library. The number of shops and businesses offering discounts to One Card holders has almost doubled from 97 to 173 since launching in November 2015.

 

Cllr Denise Scott-McDonald, the Royal Borough’s Cabinet Member For Culture, Creative Industries and Community Wellbeing said: “To have as many as 20,000 residents signing up for a Greenwich One Card is really positive news and shows the progress we have made in making services more accessible for residents."

 

"This has helped attract over 14,000 new members to leisure and libraries. It is also great to see so many local businesses sign up to the scheme which has almost doubled ever since the One Card launched last November.”

Getting your Greenwich One Card is easy and completely free of charge; you can sign up online on the Royal Borough’s website or sign up at any library or leisure centre and once membership is confirmed it will last forever without holders needing to renew.

Local people who want to get their One Card can ask at any library or leisure centre or visit www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk/onecard for more details and to sign up.
