Activities
Introduction
It’s a proven fact that staying active in later life helps us stay healthy and independent for longer. At the heart of ExtraCare’s approach is a commitment to provide every opportunity for an active later life.
Whether you want to learn new skills, challenge yourself to the limits, or simply relax in the company of friends, the ExtraCare lifestyle provides every opportunity.
Over 85 different activities ensure there’s always something for everyone – there’s looping the loop in a glider, swimming with sharks or learning survival techniques on Exmoor for the really adventurous. There’s also arts and crafts, ceramics, gardening, woodwork, IT and health and well-being therapies.
