Jon Snow launched the Day Centre Standards today in the ‘Barn’ at New Horizon Youth Centre.  Over 50 guests including civil servants from Department of Communities and Local Government, Local Authorities, day centre executives and the CEO of the London Housing Foundation joined the launch day.

Jon Snow said.. “The new service standards will ensure that people get excellent services when they go to participating centres. These standards should also help the wider public understand the vital role day centres play in giving a hand up to those in need – not a hand out.”
