Accompaniment Card for sports and culture

The Accompaniment Card makes it easier for a person with a disability or a chronic disease to exercise and experience culture. The card entitles one person to free admission to accompany or assist the card holder.

Use of the Accompaniment Card

• The card is valid for up to five years
• Upon request, the cardholder must provide proof of identity
• The card holder is responsible for selecting the assistant and the assistant’s competence for the task. In public changing rooms, the assistant must be of the same sex.
• Two cards may be issued to persons with severe disabilities who have a legitimate need for two assistants.
• The Disability Card issued by Kela with the letter A entitles one person accompanying/assisting the card holder to free admission to the sports facilities in the City of Turku on the same basis as the Accompaniment Card.
