1. What is the Redbridge Card?

The Redbridge Card is a multi use card which can be used to access library services, leisure centres and a  reward card that entitles residents to a range of discounts and special offers when they shop locally.

It is available from all local libraries and leisure centres in Redbridge.

2. Why has the Council introduced the card?

The economic downturn may be a global issue, but the Council believes local action can make a real difference to our residents and traders.

By encouraging residents to shop locally, the Redbridge Card aims to increase the trade of local businesses and help residents make their money stretch further.  By amalgamating the library and leisure card, residents can use one card to access a range of services. 

3. How does the Redbridge Card work?

Across the borough, more than 400 businesses are offering special deals for Redbridge Card holders – ranging from cash discounts to free consultations and buy-one-get-one-free deals.

Residents simply present their cards at participating businesses to redeem the offers.  Register with the libraries and leisure centres to access their services. 

4. Which businesses are involved and what are their offers? 

All businesses and their Redbridge Card offers are listed in:

Redbridge Card full directory of offers (pdf 692kb) 

Hard copies of the lists are also available on request at all Council libraries.

More businesses are signing up to the Redbridge Card every day so keep checking the lists to see all the latest businesses and offers.

5. How long will the offers last for?

All offers – and their terms – are decided by the businesses themselves.  They know what is best for their company and their customers.

Please check the lists on Redbridge i and in Council libraries for the full details of all discounts.

6. Is the Council offering any deals?

The Council, in partnership with Vision, is offering the following leisure offers:

  • one adult and one child for free on cycling at Redbridge Cycling Centre
  • 2 for 1 Driving range and Par 3 at Fairlop Waters
  • Active 4 Life - Attend four Young People Sessions and get your fifth session FREE

7. Where to get your card?

Simply pop in to your local library or leisure centre to apply for the card.
