Hornsey YMCA operates several out-of-school care services for 5 to 11 year olds, including after school clubs, breakfast clubs, holiday play schemes and weekly sports and arts camp. With a Lottery grant Hornsey YMCA will introduce new activities to help the children increase their skills and learn about the culture and heritage of their class mates. These new activities will include French classes, African drumming lessons, karate and story telling clubs.
