Women’s Group Event

November 15th, 2010

CIMG1374

We ran a ‘Womens Pampering Event’ on 27th October with support from Solace Womens Aid and Foundation 66.

Young women were treated to haircuts, nail painting and some even made their own waistcoats. We were joined by new and old young women from the centre and the group focused on having a safe place to relax and chat……resulting in some fantastic discussions around women’s safety and how to recognise negative or abusive relationships proving that ‘girl power’ is alive and well!

The women had a great day and we are hoping to run another day soon!’

Copper Load of This

April 23rd, 2010

A group of young people from New Horizon Youth Centre have taken to the local streets, armed with cameras and their imaginations to create thier interpretation of Copper Load of This as part of Create KX Reveal.
The result, a lively and poetic wall installation of images; where shadows meet reflections and graffiti sits amongst images of tattoos and clouds.
The project began in the brand New Barn space at New Horizon, using studio lighting and digital SLR cameras. The subsequent images were taken in and around Kings Cross, but also within some of the youth’s living spaces using disposable cameras.

New Horizon Youth Centre Launch

February 24th, 2010

Centre-Launch

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.

Youth-Apprentice

Young people from the centre have been involved from the outset in the development and design of our new building. This has culminated in young people securing apprenticeships and work placements on the new build site.

Fitsum (one of our young people) has been working on the electrical installation at the site. Thank you to JONAP (the contractors) for giving him this opportunity and well done to Fitsum for his hard work and commitment.
