Extra Time

Physical and social activity programme for those aged 55 and over

Funded by the Football Foundation and Comic Relief, we have been delivering the Extra Time project since 2008, engaging men and women aged 55 plus in weekly physical and social sessions.

Extra Time's objectives are:

To provide exercise opportunities to increase physical activity. Physical activity improves both physical health and emotional well being. It is one of the most important factors in maintaining a good quality of life.
To provide a programme that helps improves muscle strength, balance and mobility.
To provide social networking opportunities which can help address some of the social exclusion and isolation issues faced by older people.
To increase the target groups interest and connections with football.

Since its introduction in September 2008, the Extra Time project has seen more than 100 men and women aged 55+ access the project.
