However, people can often find themselves socially isolated and less active when they retire as their lifestyle changes.\u00a0 Extra Time Hubs are take place at 19 EFL Clubs with an ambition to help thousands of people enjoy their retirement years and maximise the positive changes in getting older.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;Extra Time Hubs provide the opportunity to meet people like yourself, to socialise, form new friendships and do the things you enjoy.&#8221;<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Hubs are communities of likeminded people.\u00a0 They include weekly gatherings, often at the football stadium, but also a varied combination of face to face and online groups and activities.<span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>At the Hub you decide.<\/h3>\n<p>You can shape the range of activities on offer. Activities can be virtual or in person. They can vary from quizzes, arts and crafts and music to walking football, table tennis, yoga or just a chat and cup of tea. Every week there can be something else to try. They can be in person or on-line.\u00a0 Every week there\u2019s something else to try.<\/p>\n<p>Funded by Sport England, the first 11 Extra Time hubs were launched in 2019 to help older people make the most of their retirement years.\u00a0 Despite the pilot phase including an unprecedented global pandemic, the hubs have been a great success. Around 3,000 people have benefited from the Hubs so far. People like Avril who attends Wigan Athletic Extra Time Hub, she comments,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI lost my husband in July 2019 after a very long struggle with dementia and up to that point I\u2019d had to give up most of my activities as I was always looking after him and taking care of him up until he went into care. When he passed away, I thought I had to get back into some sort of activities because I had lost touch with everything. I came across the Extra Time Hub and popped in to have a look and thought it looked good and I was hooked from there. I\u2019m very grateful as it dug me out of a very lonely hole.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Changing the Way Activities are Delivered People in their Retirement Years<\/h3>\n<p>We saw that services for older people tended to be small coffee morning groups, bingo sessions or tea dances with music from Vera Lynn. There&#8217;s nothing wrong with this, if that what you want to do. However, there&#8217;s a new generation of older people who grew up in the 60&#8217;s with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Furthermore many people that were teenagers in the 70s are now retired. So we knew that a culture change was needed. We had an ambitious concept in mind. We still do. We want to create a social community of people in their retirement years who meet regularly to socialise and to do the things they enjoy &#8211; not what we tell them they should enjoy.<\/p>\n<h3>Find a Hub near you<\/h3>\n<p>Hubs are run at Bolton Wanderers, Burton Albion, Cambridge United, Carlton Athletic, Crawley Town, Derby County, Exeter City, Hull City Tigers Trust, Lincoln City, Newport County. Northampton Town, Plymouth Argyle, Port Vale, Preston North End, Rotherham United, Stevenage,\u00a0 Sunderland,\u00a0 Shrewsbury Town and Wigan Athletic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  style='height:30px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_three_fourth  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7981 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-1030x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"124\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-1030x512.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-768x381.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-1500x745.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-705x350.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-450x223.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE.jpg 1641w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 248px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 248\/124;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7981\" src=\"https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-1030x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-1030x512.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-768x381.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-1500x745.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-705x350.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE-450x223.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/TNL_SPORTENG_PANTONE.jpg 1641w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  column-top-margin\" style='border-radius:0px; '><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
