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.

Two mornings per week, 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.
