What is the Buddy Card Scheme?

The Buddy Card Scheme makes it easier for disabled persons to use Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council leisure, arts and community facilities.  The Scheme is available to any adult or child with a disability.

Some people who use our facilities may need a friend or family member to assist them in participating in specific activities - this person is known as their Buddy.  When paying for an activity or visiting a facility the disabled person would make the relevant payment and their Buddy would have free access to accompany and assist. 

To apply for a Buddy Card please download and complete the following application form. Applications can be submitted by emailing icebowl@lisburncastlereagh.gov.uk or at reception.
