News in brief<br />
Cinema card<br />
Do you have a cinema card? If not why not? It costs £5.50 and means that when you take<br />
your child or young person to the cinema you can get in free for one year. The card is in<br />
the child’s name so it doesn’t matter who goes with them. To apply for the card you will<br />
need to submit pro<strong>of</strong> to show that you meet one or more <strong>of</strong> the following criteria:<br />
• be in receipt <strong>of</strong> Disability Living Allowance or Attendance Allowance<br />
• be a registered blind person.<br />
You will also need to supply a passport-sized photo with your application to appear on<br />
the card. To download the application form and for more information please visit<br />
