‘I just wanted to write a massive, big THANK YOU for your generous donation to our comic library for homeless and vulnerable young people at New Horizons Youth Centre following my comic youth project there with House of Illustration. We received over 100 comics and graphic novels from Manga to Super hero comics and Indi. Good stuff!
Many thanks to: Mark Haylock, Karen Rubins, Ellen Lindner, Sean Azzopardi, Mike Medaglia, William Morris, Paul Gravett, Jude Fransman, Jonathan Plackett, Kripa Joshi, Jared and Oliver Pickles and OK comics and to Alex Bowler and Jonathan Cape for their generous support. And a HUGE thank you to Emily Jost and the House of Illustration staff and to New Horizon members and staff… and most of all to Mark Cruise for his endless support and genuine love of comics!
Many, many Thanks! I hope the following photos will show you how much the young people appreciate it!’

The Opportunities Fair on 25th February was a great success and engaged over 60 young people from the centre and community. The Fair created an opportunity for young people to learn about and sign up to various training and education providers including: Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Foundation, the Prince’s Trust and Kings Cross Construction Skills Centre. Young people benefited from attendting a ’Guru session’ presented by Olympus and Buzzacott – learning about career paths within these businesses. Also 17 YP worked in 1:1 sessions with employees from Buzzacott, improving their chances of finding employment by updating and improving their CVs.
