“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

Was great to hear our CEO Phil and Andy, a young person we`ve been supporting, on @bbclondon this week. Young people are the fastest growing age group forced to sleep rough in London and yet there is no recognition of this in the funding, political priorities and service offer in the capital and across the UK. We`ve been supporting under-25s who are unhoused and unsafe in London for over half a century, and it`s never been this bad. The problem isn`t going anywhere, so nor are we. We`ll keep using every platform we have to shout about how young people don`t get the support and attention they deserve. We need everyone to take this seriously and start listening to young people and we must have a #YouthHomelessChapter in the government`s new strategy to end homelessness. Reach out if you want to join us in this fight!
Our first snowdrop of the year! Small sights and sounds of spring are appearing at New Horizon.Although the temperatures are still very cold, we are looking forward to warmer weather and sunnier days. In the meantime, we continue to provide daily hot food, drinks, showers and a warm place to be for young people affected by homelessness.#spring #snowdrops #birdsong #daffodils #signsofspring #london #nature #homeless

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!
