welcome to extratime
extratime is a registered charity which runs 3 after school clubs and associated holiday playschemes in the city of Brighton and Hove. These clubs and playschemes are fully inclusive, catering for children of 5 - 16 years from both mainstream and special needs schools. The children who come to us have a wide range of special needs; physical, learning and behavioural and we provide one-to-one support to those children who need it.
The extratime clubs fill a gap in after school care for children with profound and/or multiple disabilities - care and play opportunities that simply didn't exist for these children before extratime. Our clubs are about giving every child a chance to be accepted and included for who they are and helping children learn about living in an inclusive society. We offer a great, fun experience to our children and a valuable service to their families - families who sometimes struggle to cope not just with the challenges of caring for a disabled child but with the isolation and frustration that can go with this.
