# Labour Proposes Free Mental Health Checks, Gym Access, and Heritage Visits

## In brief

- The Labour Party has announced new proposals, including free mental health check-ups for various age groups.
- Another pledge is to expand the existing free gym membership scheme to cover more sports and physical activities.
- The party also proposed a free Heritage Malta passport, allowing residents free entry to museums and historical sites.

Prime Minister Robert Abela announced a series of new proposals during a Workers' Day speech. Among these, the Labour Party is suggesting a pilot project to offer free mental health check-ups with a psychologist of choice for different age groups.

The party also aims to broaden its current free six-month gym membership scheme to include a wider range of sports and physical activities. Additionally, Labour has proposed a free Heritage Malta passport for all Maltese and Gozitan residents, which would grant free access to museums and heritage sites.

These proposals are part of a broader package focused on improving wellbeing and quality of life for the public.
