Applications for Smartcities cards can be made in Gateway at One Guildhall Square, a Southampton library or a local housing office.

A proof of personal identification containing your date of birth, a proof of address and a good quality colour passport photograph will be required (Gateway can take your photograph for the card, but this is not a guaranteed service). For the Get Active subscription evidence of being in receipt of one of the following benefits will be required:

  • Housing benefits
  • Income support/guarantee pension credit
  • Council tax main benefit
  • Job seekers income based
  • Incapacity benefit/ESA*

An unwaged spouse, partner or unwaged children under 18 also qualify if the main applicant is in receipt of one of the top four benefits.

*These benefits are for individual claimants only. Therefore partners/children may not be eligible for this scheme.
