On the 14th May, we will host our second annual Comedy Benefit to help raise awareness and funds for New Horizon. It is great to see the continued support from Jon Snow and Ed Byrne, with other acclaimed acts such as Jimmy Carr, Rory Bremner, Stewart Francis and Mitch Winehouse joining us for the evening.
The night also gives young people, who we work with, the chance to take to the stage and perform. Giving them the chance to feature in the line-up with leading names in the world of entertainment is a privilege for us. We’d love you to come and support them.
Ed is still keeping tight-lipped about his material, but commented: “I find it hard to believe that in a city like London, there are still so many young homeless people struggling to make something of their futures. This performance is a great chance to see some of Britain’s favourite comics share the stage with young talent.”

Jon Snow stole the show and the auction when prompted by the audience, he took his socks off and auctioned them along with his ties. The lucky recipient was Dara O’Briain who paid an inordinate amount for these prized items.
Jon Snow’s socks have made it into Friday 22nd Telegraph. Page 8, you can read this online here:

Working in partnership with University of the Arts London’s Widening Participation Programme, young people from the centre presented a Career Wear Fashion Show during the Opportunities Fair on 25th Feb. Introduced by our chair Jon Snow – the show presented young people wearing work wear outfits generously sponsored by Olympus Keymed & Buzzacott. A big thank you to Central St Martins – who provided a stylist (Larry), makeup artist (Claire De’Graft), photographer (Othello De’Souza-Hartley) and Berni Yates for Choreographing the show.

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.”

New Horizon Youth Centre’s new building was officially opened by Sarah Brown yesterday. Other speakers at the launch were MP’s Frank Dobson and Vernon Coaker, Mr Bobby McDonagh, the Irish Ambassador, Comedian Rory Bremner and our very own Jon Snow!
The launch began with young people giving guests tours of their new building and culminated in an unveiling of our supporter’s plaque by Sarah Brown, who was helped by Fitsum – a young person from the centre who was an apprentice on our re-build site.
Sarah Brown then joined in a creative art workshop with young people. Sarah later tweeted ‘what a great space for those who need support’.
Thank you to everyone who attended the launch and helped to make it a very special day for New Horizon Youth Centre.
