Join ClinksNew Horizon Youth Centre is a day centre based in Somers Town, Kings Cross working with young vulnerable people from backgrounds of disadvantage and destitution.  Our Creating Positive Futures Project works specifically with Youth Offenders and young people Leaving Care from throughout London and the UK.  We provide an avenue of change for 2,000 vulnerable young people each year. We make that change positive. We prevent the situation from worsening and provide the opportunity at a crisis point for people to make positive choices and positive changes. Our outreach works includes street outreach, work in prison, resettlement support and preventative work in schools. We provide a flexible response, supporting vulnerable people whose needs are not being adequately met through local or national strategies at any particular time and those who are destitute, with no statutory entitlement at all. We work with young people who are gang affiliated to secure safe accommodation and services.
