Benefits with the card

A disabled person in possession of the European Disability Card receives a 20% discount on any activity or offer. This discount cannot be combined with other discounts. If the disabled person can present a companion pass from the province of Limburg, the companion may participate in the activity free of charge as he/she is needed to support the disabled person during this activity.

As a local authority, we organise various leisure activities for different target groups. We take care to make each activity as low-threshold and accessible as possible. The community centre de oude pastorie in Nieuwenrode is the place to go if you are interested in culture and meeting people. At the library, in turn, you can find the latest and greatest books. In September and June we have a fair in our municipality. Together with the proprietors, it was agreed to provide a low-incentive time so that people who are highly sensitive can also enjoy themselves. In summer, our leisure service also provides some inclusive playgrounds accessible to children with disabilities.
