Completed petition Allow older people to access outdoor sports facilities for physical and mental wellbeing
Older members of society have often lost their partner and have established a circle of friends in their own particular club. This is particularly pertinent in golf clubs. The club maybe outside their lockdown area, sometimes by even a short distance. This year has been difficult for all but particularly so for this age group, with not only their physical health suffering but also having a severe effect on their mental health.

The Equality Act 2010 says you musn't be discriminated against because of your age. Discrimination, which is against the Equality Act, is unlawful.
Recent changes by the Welsh Government allows younger people to travel out of their lockdown area to their personal sporting club.
This action discriminates against older people also needing the same facilities.
