What Is FANS Scheme Membership?

FANS (Free Access for National Sports People) is a county-wide scheme providing support to the leading sports performers here in Kent and Medway, through free, off-peak access to a number of the county’s sports facilities for personal training and development. Facilities involved include leisure and sports centres, swimming pools, fitness gyms, artificial/synthetic pitches and athletic tracks plus a range of other specialist and general indoor and outdoor facilities. Find out how to apply for FANS membership, check eligibility and view member benefits including a list of the facilities in Kent who support the FANS scheme.


IMPORTANT NOTICE: Active Kent & Medway will cease to administer the FANS scheme from 31 March 2027, due to a change in funding priorities for the local Active Partnership. To provide clarity on your FANS membership, please read our full announcement and frequently asked questions.
