Croydon disability register and access card

We have partnered with Nimbus Disability to offer a discount card to all children and young people on our disability register. The card is free and is part of a national access card scheme, giving benefits and discounts to facilities and activities across the country.

About Croydon’s disability register

The council has a statutory responsibility to maintain a register of children and young people with disabilities who live in the borough. The register is used to provide support to children and young people with disabilities and their carers. It also helps us manage our resources and target services where it’s needed most.

It is the personal choice of parents and carers to include their children in the register, and although we encourage everyone applicable to join the register, it isn’t compulsory.

About the access card

The access card is widely accepted as proof of a disabled person’s needs, and provides access to concessions such as free companion passes and tickets.

The card has symbols which confirm a person’s needs, to inform providers quickly and discreetly about the support that may be required.   

Visit www.accesscard.org.uk/find-a-credable-provider/ to see all the organisations which offer benefits to access card holders. Many organisations not listed still provide benefits, so keep your card with you just in case.
