HPLS are able to assist members with a financial subsidy to assist with various fitness, health and wellbeing focussed activities or challenges. Members are able to claim up to 2 such subsidies per year.
This is aimed at supporting members with activities such as;
- Fun runs / obstacle course events
- Sportive events such as running and cycling
- Hill climbing and endurance events
- One off fitness courses, pilates, yoga, boxercise
- Classes in dance, healthy cooking and diet
Ongoing subscriptions and memberships are excluded. This is aimed at new introductory activities and single sport or fitness type events which must have an element of personal challenge. Pure leisure based activities are excluded.
The amount of support available will depend on the nature of the activity, the overall cost and commitment involved, including any charity funding involved. Each request is considered on it's merit. Typically subsidies will be between 30-50% of the entry or course cost, up to a maximum £50. We may take into account any additional costs inc transport.
We can assist with transport for groups of members with the use of a mini bus or people carrier. A seperate request needs to be made for this.
We need proof of registration for courses and events, booked in the members name for the member to partipate. Members may request for an event where the family members are involed, however the subsidy will be based on the cost of members participation only.
Subsidy is normally once the activity has concluded and the member or group representative has confirmed it took place.
Requests for Team Building support can be made on a seperate form.
