Fulham FC Foundation have been running the Extra Time project for a year since January 2011 and we are pleased to announce that we have funding secured for a further year throughout 2012.
The Extra Time project uses the ‘power of football’ to engage over-50s and provide regular sport, social and leisure activities at 30 professional football clubs.
It is jointly funded by the Football Foundation and Comic Relief, who developed it in partnership with the Premier League and Age UK.
Extra Time helps participants to improve their health and emotional wellbeing to address some serious health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, falls prevention, obesity, and depression.
The project also focuses on lifestyle changes that promote health and wellbeing, helping older people to stay healthy and well and empowering them to live independent lives.
Fulham FC Foundation are pleased to announce that we are going to be re-starting the Extra Time project on Monday 23rd January 2012. with a one-off event.
The invitation to come along to this event is open to any Fulham FC fan or friend.
