Trustees

London is a fantastic city to call home, but a central truth remains in the capital. Every year thousands of young people find themselves unhoused, unsupported and unsafe. That’s why New Horizon Youth Centre exists.

Founded in 1967, New Horizon Youth Centre continues to be a vital support network for 16–24-year-olds with nowhere else to go. Through the services we provide at our day centre, via outreach and remotely, our multidisciplinary team of over 60 staff support thousands of young people experiencing homelessness in London to find safety, improve their wellbeing, develop skills for life and ultimately find somewhere that they can call home.
