New Horizon Youth Centres Anniversary 5k Fun Run

Even today in London, thousands of young people still remain homeless and at risk. Despite the current situation they find themselves in many are committed to overcoming their situation in order to live a productive and independent life. This is where the New Horizon Youth Centre fits in.

The New Horizon Youth Centre, is at the forefront of changing the outlook for homeless young people. Based in Kings Cross, and open 7 days a week, the team work tirelessly to support and help them achieve their full potential.

Every year, New Horizon helps 2,500 vulnerable young people. They provide vital facilities for those in need, from a simple hot meal and a shower to important skills and employment training that helps them get back on their feet. The centre also offers a counselling service, drug and alcohol support and even health and fitness classes which can act as a lifeline for many.

This October, the centre is celebrating 50 years, after it was founded by Lord Longford in 1967. As part of this momentous occasion the New Horizon Youth Centre will be holding a 5K Fun Run on the 14^th of October at 11am in Highbury Fields to raise money to fund their continued fight against youth homelessness.

Without the fantastic work that New Horizon Youth Centre carry out many young people would be at significant risk and could still remain homeless!

So grab your running shoes and get moving, it’s time to raise some money!
