Last year 136,000 young people asked for help from their local council because they were homeless or at risk of homelessness. Moreover, young people are the *fastest growing* age group of rough sleepers in London.

New Horizon Youth Centre is London’s only youth-specific homeless day centre. We provide a ‘one-stop’ space for any young person seeking a safe place to call home, providing both immediate help and long-term support. Under one roof young people can get a hot meal, shower, housing advice, support into emergency and long-term accommodation, support with their physical and mental health, life-skills development (e.g. art, cooking, sports, ESOL), guidance into jobs, education and training opportunities, and the chance to build community from shared-experience.

We work to break the cycle of homelessness and create change via our services and campaigns: for as long as young people are homeless or unsafe in London, we’ll be here to give their potential a home.

To give an idea of how your support could help:

• £64 could fund an 'on the street outreach shift', where a specialist can provide support and guidance to young people experiencing homelessness.

• £5 could cover the cost for a young person to have a hot nutritious meal at the day centre.

• £27 could give a young person a night in emergency accommodation, instead of a night sleeping rough.

• £16 could give a young person facing homelessness access to expert housing advice, helping them to secure accommodation.

• £19 could provide an hour CV writing workshop for a young person experiencing homelessness.

• £8 could cover the travel cost for a young person who has experienced homelessness - heading to their first job interview.

• £60 could provide an hour 1:1 counselling session for a young person who has experienced homelessness.

• £90 could give a young person who has experienced homelessness, the essentials needed to make their new accommodation a home.
