Physical and social activities for over 55s

The Foundation have been delivering the Extra Time project since 2008, engaging men and women aged 55 plus in weekly physical and social sessions.

With weekly sessions at Carrow Park and Thetford, attendees enjoy an hour of physical activity, followed by a social hour. Participants are welcome to attend the social hour only.

The programme allows participants to explore a wide range of different sports such as badminton, football, netball and table tennis, together with the opportunity to discuss key topics within the social sessions alongside special guest speakers.

Our Extra Time programme will be launching at Breckland Leisure Centre, Thetford on Friday 27th February (10am-12pm). 

This session is supported by the Breckland Council Inspiring Communities Fund, administered by Norfolk Community Foundation.

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 group’s interest and connections with football.
