The Extra Time Program is joint initiative with the Scottish Government and the Scottish Football Association (SFA) which aims to support community foundations like PFCCF to provide after school activity clubs for primary school age children from low-income backgrounds.
PFCCF Community coaches will deliver SFA Extra Time to better support identified primary aged school children who are most at risk of living in poverty, their parents and carers by improving access to childcare to take up, sustain or increase their hours of work or study, or training.
This option is contributing towards the Scottish Government’s national mission to end child poverty; and it is helping to reduce inequalities in accessing activities for families living in poverty improving family health and wellbeing
SFA Extra Time activities are split across the 2 hours providing fun and a range of varied activity types, such as:
- Football sessions and general activity games, encouraging movement and exercise
- Homework support, ease burden of parents/ carers and providing increased family time.
- Creative Skills – Arts and crafts
