Please see the form attached and details below for how to apply for a carer’s card to accompany disabled children or adults to the cinema for free. See also http://www.ceacard.co.uk/ . This is a national card that can be used to verify that the holder is entitled to one free ticket for a person accompanying them to the cinema. To apply for the card, you (or the child you are caring for) will need to meet one or more of the following criteria:a) Be in receipt of the disability living allowance or attendance allowance.b) Be a registered blind person.The card is valid for 3 years from the date of issue. A processing fee of five pounds is chargeable per card. This is to be sent along with the completed application. If this is difficult, it maybe that Time2Share could help out if you are going to go to the cinema as a befriending activity (so contact us if the price is putting you off). This is a good value card as the price equivalent to one cinema ticket will give you unlimited cinema access as a carer (you will need to be with the paying disabled person obviously, and they keep the card!).
Participating cinemas in Bristol which I spotted on the site are:
CINEWORLD – www.cineworld.co.uk
ODEON CINEMAS LTD – www.odeon.co.uk
REELTIME CINEMAS LTD – www.reeltime-cinemas.co.uk
VUE ENTERTAINMENT – www.myvue.co.uk
A few of our young people have these cards already and they do come in useful. Please let me know of any other activities suitable for wet, weekday evenings!

By the way, we are not the organisation who supplies these cards. If you are not a member of Time2Share you will need to contact them directly. The link above should take you to the application form.
