You might already be thinking about making a donation to help the homeless this Christmas. Did you know under 25s are the fastest growing demographic on the streets in London? Why not make your Christmas donation to London`s only open access youth homelessness and street outreach service? And why not double that donation for free by making it during the @biggiveorg #ChristmasChallenge? Mark 3-10th Dec in your diary and tell your network to double their impact for zero extra effort!

Small gifts can make a big difference, especially at Christmas. Between 3-10 December, any gifts made to support our work will be doubled, for free, as part of the @biggiveorg #ChristmasChallenge. Double the donation, double the difference, at no extra effort or cost to you. Mark it in your calendar!

During Black History Month @koby_martin led a brilliant art workshop about belonging, identity, home with inspiration from African art and culture. We LOVE these pieces that our young people made. Which is your favourite?

Our fundraising evening at the Houses of Parliament was wonderful! We raised over £20k, an incredible amount for young people facing homelessness! Thank you so much to everyone who came, donated, took part in our lucky dip and auction, and everyone who donated beautiful prizes.

The biggest thank you goes to Okechukwu, an amazing young singer we support at New Horizon 💙✨

It looks so good at the end 👀😋

For World Food Day we are making Big Zuu’s Super Malt Ribs from his cookbook “Big Zuu’s Big Eats”! Demonstrated by @willpoulter and @itsbigzuu when they hosted a Supper Club for our young people this summer.

Ingredients
For the dry rub
- 2 tbsp all-purpose seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp fine salt
For the short ribs
- 1.5kg/3lb 5oz beef short ribs
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2.5cm/1in piece fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 Scotch bonnet chilli, pierced
- 2 × 330ml bottles fizzy malt drink
- 4 vegetable stock cubes, crumbled
- 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 1 tbsp runny honey

1. To make the dry rub, mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
2. To make the ribs, rub the dry rub mixture all over the ribs. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours and for up to 12 hours.
3. In a large casserole, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onions until browned and softened. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 2 minutes before adding the Scotch bonnet, malt drink and 200ml/7fl oz water. Add the stock cubes and bring to the boil.
4. Preheat the oven to 170C/150C Fan/Gas 3. Place the marinated ribs in a large, deep roasting tin or ceramic or glass dish lined with kitchen foil. Pour over the malt and onion stock. Cover the tin or dish with kitchen foil and roast for 5–5½ hours until the ribs are super tender, checking and turning them a couple of times during cooking. Remove the ribs from the liquid and set them aside on a foil-lined roasting tin, covering with foil to keep warm. Turn the oven up to 240C/220C Fan/Gas 9.
5. Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan, pushing the oniony juices through the sieve as much as possible. Place over a high heat. Bring the liquid to a boil, whisk in the ketchup and honey and cook until reduced by half and thickened. Pour the thickened sauce over the short ribs and roast, uncovered, for 10 minutes to glaze.
6. Serve the ribs immediately with the coleslaw, suya potatoes and cold bottles of fizzy malt drink.
