“The Hackney Half is probably one of the most fun Half marathons in London, the community support is unrivalled, the streets are full of spectators the weekend is like a festival for runners with a host of different activities to get involved with the whole weekend and on the day. Hackney Half is one of those races that you must experience, and I always try and find room in my calendar every year to make sure I am at the start line.” Claude Umuhire - London Programmes Manager at The Running Charity, former young person at New Horizon Youth Centre

The Government have pledged more money to end rough sleeping and homelessness… hear what we have to say about it @c5news #Channel5 #EndHomelessness
We took a group of 5 young people to Folkestone and were kindly hosted by @PrimalRunners who took the group wall climbing with some refugees with whom they work with in Kent. The cod and chips and walk around the quaint harbour before the trip back to London made the trip one of the top 5 events of 2024! Here`s looking forward to more collaboration in 2025 ✊
We are open everyday for young people from Christmas Eve through to New Years Eve 11am-3.30pm. Then closed for a few days 1st-5th Jan and back open as usual on 6th January. Come in for warmth, Christmas cheer, music, hot drinks, festive food, games and support from our expert youth and housing workers.SAVE THIS POST so you can check our opening and closure times easily 🎁❄️🎄
It’s all hands on deck to get them out to young people! Rough sleeping increased 33% in the last few months so sadly we are seeing a lot of our young people who really need these care packs with essential items such as toothbrushes, hand-warmers, thermals and sleeping bags. Thanks so much @thecarepack for your donation, it has made lots of our young people very happy!
We had a special guest visit from @mr_njonesofficial at our wonderful Festive Evening of Thanks! We thanked our partners and funders for their incredible support for our work over the past year. We showcased our young people`s Portrait Photography and created Christmas decorations for the day centre windows.Thank you to @sohowinesupply @cheezelo and @paulrhodesbakery for the delicious mulled wine, cheese boards and mince pies!
We raised £60,386.50 in total from our Big Christmas Challenge! We totally smashed our £50,000 target. 🎯 This will make such a big difference to young people who are struggling with homelessness this Winter. We will stay open throughout the Christmas period so young people have somewhere warm and joyful to go each day, and we can support them to find safe housing for the new year and beyond.Thank you so much to everyone who donated, all of our supporters and partners and especially to our match funders who doubled every donation! We also couldn’t have done this without @biggiveorg 💙🎁🎄✨🏡
T-minus 25 hours until the end of the BIG Christmas Challenge, and we have just under £3,000 to raise to reach our target!! Help us keep our doors open for young people this Christmas and make the BIGGEST difference to the lives of young people experiencing homelessness in London. LINK IN BIO 🎁🧑🎄🎄🏘️
