Our friends at Network Rail, Taylor Woodrow and NG Bailey all grew moustaches for MOVEMBER!… They raised over £1,200 for NHYC. The winner, with the best Movember Moustache was Eamonn McNally with a very impressive tash!
Thank you to Michelle Saint for organising this event and everyone at Cubitt House for your brilliant fundraising efforts.
New Horizon Youth Centre’s Women’s Open Space programme has won the Home Office - Tackling Drugs Changing Lives Award.
The award recognises people who have made an outstanding contribution to tackling drugs. They reward people who have changed lives and communities through their work. Out of 300 nominations – The Women’s Open Space Project were among the 28 finalists…and guess what?…WE WON!!
The Women’s Open Space Project operates an outreach service in the Kings Cross area for rough sleepers under the age of 25, female sex workers and other vulnerable women. They witness the immediate and long term impact of their work with these vulnerable women.
Their twice weekly drop-in service offers a relaxing and welcoming space where we run, for example, a peer education programme aimed at educating and informing the women on drugs and dangers of sex work.
“I’m incredibly proud of the Women’s Open Space Team and the work they do. And I’m now bowled over by the Home Office Award – it is so richly deserved. I would like to thank the team for touching and making a difference to so many women’s lives. New Horizon is fortunate indeed to have them”….said Jon Snow, Chairman of New Horizon Youth Centre.
