In 2009 Shoreline Leisure Bray introduced a carer’s policy in order to meet the unique requirements of patrons who would be otherwise unable to avail of the centres facilities / services without the assistance of a carer. Our policy states that in the event of an individual(s) acting in their official role as a carer, they are entitled to use the facilities / services free of charge. In order to administer the policy any individual(s) acting as a care must produce written confirmation / identification from their employer.
