Join the challenge to swim, bike, run, walk or row 100km in May to support the game changing work of HEP Horizons and its partners.

Horizons exists to ensure every child and young person in Haringey and Enfield has the opportunity to access extra-curricular activities across art, music, sport and academic support.

Opportunities to participate in extra-curricular activities are not equally distributed. Involvement in extra-curricular activities is affected by several factors, including socio-economic, gender, ethnicity, school attended and geographic location.

· 37% of young people in the UK don’t take part in extra-curricular activities

· 54% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds are unable to engage in any extra-curricular activities

With the continued cost of living crisis, the disparity in access to extra-curricular opportunities has never been so great. This must change. And Horizons is here to make that happen.

We know that participation in extra-curricular activity significantly increases social connection, positively impacts the physical and mental health of young people and assists in every area of their development.

Horizons supports equity of access to extra-curricular activity, ALL children and young people in Haringey and Enfield will have the opportunity to fulfil their enormous potential. We won’t step until we level the playing field.
