About Us

Come and be part of ‘The Active County’

An Active Mind in an Active Body. Now just one card fits all – it will let you borrow books, gain internet access at libraries, have a swim or use the gym. This is not all about sport and fitness – more about a balanced life style, full of interest, vibrancy, reading, learning, playing and health – and it’s free to join!!

We have developed membership cards for you to use. These replace so many of the existing cards you currently use in South Gloucestershire. You will receive regular information designed for you under one banner Active: i.e. walking events, festivals and gardening clubs.

The Active Partnership has brought together a variety of existing organisations to provide better services to the community of South Gloucestershire. The Active card is about making life simpler, helping you know what great things are out there, giving you easier access to an active lifestyle.

It gets even better… when you get an Active Card, it doesn’t just work in leisure centres and libraries in South Gloucestershire. You can also borrow books from any public library in Bristol, North Somerset, Somerset and Bath and North East Somerset. We told you life was simpler with an Active card.

Over the next year we will be rolling the Active Card out across all the libraries and leisure centres in South Gloucestershire. For now we are piloting it in the Longwell Green area. Find out where you can get active now here
