I'm running 100k in May for Horizons to raise £1,000 to give children and young people access to extra-curricular activities.

If 100 people complete this challenge, each getting 100 people to donate £10 that'll be £100,000 raised.

I've been treasurer for this great charity for the last couple of years and seen first hand the great work that can be done. The 100k in May campaign has the chance to really boost our funding and touch the lives of many more of the children and young people that need it most.

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

We know that participation in extra-curricular activities 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, believing ALL children and young people in Haringey and Enfield should have the opportunity to fulfil their enormous potential. We won't stop until we level the playing field.
