Swindon Town's ExtraTime project was originally launched in October 2008, for males of 60 and over to meet on a weekly basis & engage in social and physical activity. This project is jointly funded by the Football Foundation & Sport Relief.
The participants are now enjoying their second year of the programme, participating in activities such as Golf, Bowles, Horse Riding, Water Polo & Orienteering to name but a few.
Due to the over-whelming success of this group Swindon Town's Community Trust are now operating an all female project, ran on the same weekly basis.
In addition to the weekly groups the Community Trust are planning monthly visits for residents of local care homes, to come into the football club to engage in Bingo, Ground Tours & listening to Guest Speakers, such as ex-players/ chairman & staff from days gone by.
