Tirer les leçons de l'enfermement

Nous avons beaucoup appris des fermetures précédentes, le plus souvent à la dure. La troisième fois, nous avons surmonté les obstacles techniques initiaux, nous sommes équipés d'EPI et nous comprenons mieux les services disponibles, mais nous continuons à apprendre et à nous améliorer en permanence.

Lockdown nous a appris ce dont les jeunes que nous soutenons sont réellement capables. Il nous a appris l'importance de donner de meilleures instructions et de communiquer régulièrement et clairement. Le Covid-19 nous a montré la véritable résilience des jeunes Londoniens et nous a fait comprendre ce que nous pourrions faire plus vite et mieux.

Nous avons mis en œuvre une série de nouvelles technologies. Nous avons élaboré une politique Covid pour les logements partagés, qui est mise à jour tous les mois en fonction des nouvelles réglementations. Nous avons été en mesure de continuer à recevoir de nouvelles demandes par le biais de notre formulaire d'autoréférence en ligne et de notre formulaire de référence pour les partenaires. Nous travaillons avec un service de traduction par téléphone pour aider les jeunes qui ont besoin d'un soutien linguistique.

"New Horizon se distingue. Les délais de réponse sont rapides. Ils offrent des conseils généraux pour de nombreuses situations différentes. Je pouvais toujours obtenir de l'aide, quel que soit le problème. - Jeune personne utilisant nos services à distance

La prestation de services à distance présente des difficultés, car on perd beaucoup à ne pas pouvoir rencontrer les gens face à face pour établir un rapport et une relation de confiance. De nombreux services partenaires avec lesquels nous travaillons sont fermés ou débordés. Les listes d'attente sont souvent longues et nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir recruter du personnel supplémentaire pour gérer notre forte charge de travail.

Nous essayons de recréer la nature holistique du centre dans chaque interaction que nous avons avec les jeunes. Les services peuvent être difficiles à gérer à distance, car beaucoup de choses doivent être faites en ligne ou par téléphone. Notre équipe s'est donc efforcée de trouver un équilibre entre un travail intensif pour établir des relations et des vérifications plus informelles.

"Cela dépend de qui vous êtes. Parfois, les gens veulent mettre un visage sur un nom. Je n'ai pas besoin de me déplacer, donc je trouve que c'est facile d'accès". - Jeune personne utilisant nos services à distance

Grâce à notre offre à distance, nous avons réussi à atteindre des jeunes qui ne viendraient pas au centre en personne. Le fait de disposer d'un système d'orientation en ligne est une excellente chose et nous voulons continuer à l'offrir une fois que nous aurons rouvert nos portes.

Nous avons beaucoup plus de souplesse pour les rendez-vous, nous pouvons nous occuper du logement ou du conseil pendant la pause déjeuner des jeunes, par exemple, car les jeunes n'ont plus besoin de se déplacer pour venir nous voir, ils peuvent être aidés où qu'ils se trouvent à Londres. Cela correspond à notre volonté d'aller à la rencontre des jeunes là où ils se trouvent.

"Cela donne beaucoup plus de liberté pour communiquer. Il n'y a pas de contrainte. Si vous ne voulez pas parler à quelqu'un, vous n'êtes pas obligé de le faire. En personne, on se sent parfois obligé de parler. De cette façon, on a plus d'espace. - Jeune personne utilisant notre service de conseil à distance

Nous n'avons pas toutes les réponses, mais nous essayons de faire ce qu'il faut pour chaque jeune avec lequel nous sommes en contact, et de protéger notre personnel. Nous aimerions savoir ce que vous avez appris.

We are holding an event for MPs to learn about our campaign to get the Government to make a #PlanForThe136k young people who were homeless last year - by including a youth specific chapter in their strategy to end homelessness.
Through a #YouthHomelessChapter we could start to see real, tangible changes to stop more young people becoming homeless.

We`re supporting #YouthWorkWeek and the importance of a right to youth work for all.

The theme aims to highlight the many ways that youth work spaces are made accessible to all and which enable young people to explore and celebrate their own identity and values. At New Horizon we`re proud to have some of the most talented, dynamic and specialist youth workers on our team, supporting thousands of young Londoners who are homeless or unsafe.

Youth work not only gives young people life changing opportunities but according to research by UK Youth and Frontier Economics for every £1 the government invests in youth work, the benefits to the taxpayer is between £3.20 and £6.40.

The #AutumnBudget brought some positive steps for the #PlanForThe136k campaign: Increasing spending for homelessness and rough sleeping by £233 million, a £10 minimum wage for 18-20s, and £500 million investment in affordable and social housing - but a lot was missing and not nearly enough to end youth homelessness.

We are still calling for an end to the outdated benefit system to #MakeWorkPay for young people in supported housing. And for a youth specific chapter in the Government’s promised strategy to end homelessness.

Join us to keep up the pressure to end youth homelessness for good #PlanForThe136k

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.
