Our 50th Anniversary Year

In 2017 we celebrated 50 years of helping homeless young people across London. Events to mark this momentous year attracted guests including deputy mayor James Murray, head of Google Europe Matt Brittin, Irish ambassador Daniel Mulhall as well as representatives from Eurostar, Youtube, The British Library and The Guardian. Friends, partner organisations and former clients also joined us. Below are just some of the ways we marked this mammoth achievement.

Fun Run

Our first ever Fun Run took place in Highbury Fields in October, with supporters running 5K to raise money for our work.

#Sofachange Campaign

A shocking 76% of the young people coming to us for support are not rough sleeping but are ‘hidden homeless’, usually sleeping on the sofas of friends, relatives or acquaintances. We wanted to raise awareness of the unstable, unpredictable and often risky situations these young people are in. Enlisting the help of our friends at Chameleon PR we developed an awareness raising campaign centred around a sofa which travelled to London landmarks and institutions including The British Library, Tate Modern, Google, Youtube and The Guardian.

Excellent Exhibitions

Our yearly collaborative project with Wellcome Collection culminated in a fantastic public exhibition of work by members of our Women’s Group.

The Guardian, supporters of our work over many years, hosted a multimedia exhibition of NHYC’s history at their premises in King’s Cross.

Annual Report 2017

This has been a momentous year for New Horizon – in many ways.

At the end of 2017 Shelagh O’Connor our much respected and much-loved Chief Executive told me she was going to retire at Easter 2018.

This was the year New Horizon celebrated its 50th year since it was founded by Lord Longford in 1967 and Shelagh has been Chief Executive for almost half of that time. The achievements we celebrated this year are in huge part due to her.

We have had a busy programme of exciting events – but of course that is tinged with regret that our work is still so very much needed. Our #sofachange campaign successfully drew attention to the scandal of the many hidden young homeless people who exist moving from sofa to sofa and floor to floor of friends or acquaintances.

We have illustrated this report with portrait photos of some of the young people who have used the centre this year. As we describe elsewhere in this report, it has been a tough year for all of them. But these photos, which the young people themselves chose, are positive and optimistic. Nobody should write these young people off. They have the same hopes and dreams for adult life as all young people. Help them find a job, a stable home and the right practical and emotional support and they will do well. The work described in this report provides exactly that sort of rounded support and under Shelagh's leadership, this year as in many years in the past, we have helped hundreds of young people get back on track to make a successful start to adult life.

We have tried to remain true to our founding principles while responding in innovative ways to new challenges. So it was great that last year our core day to day work with young people was recognised by the Children and Young People Now Youth Work Award – the youth work Oscar, and this year we won the prestigious London Homelessness award for our innovative new accommodation project with Network Homes.

None of this would have been possible without the statutory bodies, trusts, companies and individuals who support us financially and I want to use this opportunity to thank them again. This year we were particularly pleased to lead the London Youth Gateway partnership of seven leading youth homelessness agencies which won the commission from London Councils to provide support to homeless young people right across London. This is a major contribution to our work but every contribution we receive, large and small, makes a big difference to the lives of the young people we help.

We have exciting plans for the future and part of Shelagh's legacy is that she will leave a very strong staff team and Board of Trustees. Between them they provide a mix of cutting edge, exciting and innovative work with young people and solid, prudent governance and management. I want to thank all of them for the work they have done over the last year. They are both great teams to be working with as we look forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead.

A Word From Our Chair

04/05

“I’m now in secure accommodation, working and making friends.” Vlad

Annual Report 2017

This has been an exciting and challenging year and also one of great achievement and new developments.

I am enormously proud that, in partnership with Network Homes, we won the London Homelessness Award in 2017 for Project Vista, a new initiative enabling homeless young people to secure affordable housing whilst gaining the skills to secure employment. This expansion into the provision of accommodation has been essential for us due to the lack of hostels or affordable accommodation available to young people and will certainly be an area of expansion in the new year. Innovative models are required in order to address the crisis for homeless young people in the challenging times ahead.

Throughout our 50th anniversary year we have been leading in the fight against homelessness – highlighting the distinct nature of youth homelessness and the specific issues that young people face. The outlook for young people is as bleak as ever, with the crisis in housing hitting them hardest of all. Young people who cannot rely on the ‘bank of mum and dad’ are doubly hit by only having the right to the minimum wage, for young people 18–20 years of age this is currently £5.60 per hour. Finding affordable accommodation in London on that wage is well‐nigh impossible. I have seen how the introduction of Universal Credit has made so many of our young people destitute with all the administrative delays involved. Cuts to welfare, unstable employment and lack of short term accommodation all contribute to a very difficult journey for homeless young people. It is a sad reflection on our society that 50 years on from Lord Longford founding New Horizon and Ken Loach’s film Cathy Come Home that young people and families are relying now on foodbanks to stay alive.

In this report you will see what an amazing centre New Horizon is, a centre of achievement and one where our holistic approach is a force for change in young people’s lives.

Our services work with homeless young people, with care leavers, those involved in gangs, young offenders, young people in schools and with a high percentage of young people from Black and Minority ethnic groups and LGBT+ community. The successful model we have developed, places young peoples’ needs at the heart of the service and the intensive support we provide to address mental health and emotional well‐being, primary health care, employability skills, education, and accommodation has had a transformative impact on thousands of young people.

The staff at New Horizon are our greatest asset and we are commitied to supporting and developing them at all times. They are skilled, experienced individuals with expertise across a range

of specialisms and a determination to achieve the very best for vulnerable and homeless young people. A special thank you to all our partners, stakeholders, supporters and funders who have contributed time, energy and resources to us throughout the year. There are many of you who have dug deep this past year and given of yourselves (especially in that ‘fun’ run) to help us maintain and develop our services. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to John Nugent at The Rotunda, Jane Saunders at Network Homes, Lorna McCusker and Ian Joseph at Russam GMS‐Trustees Unlimited, Elizabeth Shields, John O’Dwyer, Chris Kane, John Devereux and Richard Corrigan, all of whom have supported us and gone beyond that extra mile to broaden our horizons. Apologies to those I haven’t mentioned, you all have been wonderful supporters. Long may it continue!

Last but not least, thank you to our Patron Jon Snow, a constant and tremendous advocate, and the fantastic Board of Trustees, chaired by Nick Hardwick, all of whom have provided strong governance and leadership and personal support to me over many years.

Annual Report 2017

Housing – The Problems Facing Young People

The crisis of youth homelessness has been exacerbated in recent years by the lack of shelters, hostels and other affordable accommodation for young people in need. Local authority hostels have closed and charity hostels are mostly leased by those same local authorities solely for people who fit the narrow definition of High Priority. Private accommodation is too expensive for young people in precarious, low waged employment (the minimum wage for under 21s is just £5.60), so they are forced to sleep on the streets, on friends’ sofas, in cars or even strangers’ beds. Most cannot return home due to family conflict or domestic abuse.

In response to this crisis we have developed a range of creative housing solutions, and are keen to expand this into sustainable solutions for young people using the centre in the future.

Project Vista – London Homelessness Awards Winner 2017

Project Vista is our innovative partnership with leading housing association Network Homes. Young people get a room for a year at lower than market rent, with targeted support from NHYC to help them find better jobs, improve wages or achieve promotion, allowing them to save for a deposit. Clients can move on to other Network Homes properties or to our Private Rented Sector housing scheme. We currently have 20 units of high quality shared

Tackling the Accommodation Crisis

accommodation, eight based in Homerton and 12 in Islington.

In October 2017 Project Vista won first prize in the London Homelessness Awards in recognition of its innovative approach. Judges were impressed by the collaborative approach between two diverse organisations, the focus on education and training support to become work ready and the way young people are placed at its heart. Network Homes generously donated their prize money to NHYC for the provision of frontline services. A big thank you to Network Homes and their amazing team.

Design Competition for Short Stay Accommodation

A partnership between NHYC and McAslan and Partners has established a competition which proposes an innovative and practical approach for a short‐stay development – offering a safe place whilst young people receive the support to find longer term solutions. The Deputy Mayor has pledged his support and the initial stages are now in place.

“I look forward to seeing the range of ideas that come forward in the entries to the competition – and crucially, beyond that, to seeing the winning proposals being delivered, providing vital support for young Londoners and a model that has potential to be replicated across the capital.” – James Murray, Deputy Mayor of Housing

Project 99 and Other Plans

We are currently taking on a property in Camden owned by our partners Origin Housing which will be used to house young people with low to medium support needs, who we will support. Our aim is to move young people from this scheme into Project Vista or private rented housing when they are ready, freeing up rooms for others.

Other accommodation projects include work with landlords in our Private Rented Scheme, a new innovative project in Barnet housing young people in shared accommodation, and work with Guardianship and Dot.dot.dot providers. We are also delighted to be working with Action for Children to address innovative solutions to the rent and deposit barriers that young people face.

“I just feel so much for homeless people like me.”Sami

Annual Report 2017

Established six years ago, our Youth Offending Project has developed to the point that we are now represented in every London prison and working across a range Youth Offending Services and Probation teams (NPS and CRC) throughout the city.

Engaging with over 300 young people – many of whom are extremely high risk and have not engaged with other services – every year, our team use a successful model which has been both internally and externally evaluated to reduce offending risk. Tailored to individual needs, this youth work‐based model incorporates assertive outreach and long‐term positive reinforcement to bring about profound and positive changes for the young people we work with.

We’ve pioneered housing arrangements for high risk gang members and those that need to be relocated from their home borough, and provide a prison release and resettlement service for hundreds of young people. In addition we’ve successfully advocated for more emergency accommodation provision for them on their release from custody. Our whole service is trauma informed having engaged with therapeutic training, and we continue to learn and develop with the help of the Portman Clinic.

Our focus is now to increase our accommodation provision and the way in which we support young people’s mental health in the community and in custody. We ensure they access services and have a consistent worker on their journey from the community to prison and back, and have worked with partners on knife crime and serious youth violence consultations. The YOP team has also been trained in modern slavery.

Our positive three year evaluation is testament to the effectiveness of our approach and its ongoing positive impact on young people.

Helping Young Offenders Turn Their Lives Around

Success Stories

We continue to help young people make inspiring transformations. One young man we worked with in custody has now established his own successful charity and is in his final year of university, another young woman we supported now manages a service helping other young people into employment. Successes like these show young people that there is a way for them to escape the cycle of crime and establish independent, positive lives.

“I just voted for the first time!”– LeanneIn our Youth Forum and workshops clients regularly express frustration with the political system, and yet their overwhelming feeling is one of hopelessness and disenfranchisement. That’s why we’ve focused on empowering the people we work with to make their voice heard by engaging in the political process.

Election 2017

As the general election approached many young people attended workshops led by NHYC staff on politics and economics. Laptops were then made available in the centre specifically to allow our young people to register to vote, which dozens did. The shock result of the election was credited in large part to increased numbers of young voters, confirming to our clients that they could make an impact on the power structures affecting their lives.

Protesting Universal Credit

When changes to the housing element of Universal Credit threatened to leave scores of 18‐21 year olds facing homelessness a group of our young people and staff marched to Downing Street and the Houses of Parliament to protest. Conversely our clients got to the see the other side of Westminster when they were invited to visit the Houses of Parliament a few months later.

Political Visits

In addition we hosted visits by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer MP, leader of Camden Council Georgia Gould and Green Party councillor Sian Berry. Young people asked probing and intelligent questions of all visitors around housing, jobs, wages and education, all the areas that lead to thousands of 16‐21 year olds becoming homeless every year.

Education, Employment and Training (EET)

While many homeless young people we see are struggling to hold onto jobs or college places, some come to us without the basic qualifications they need to access work. Our EET programme runs seven days a week and is designed to get young people the qualifications they need to become work ready, through free training, qualifications, work experience and intensive support.

At the weekend they can improve their literacy and numeracy and secure the accredited certificates required. The EET team works with partner employers across London and has secured routes into work for hundreds of homeless young people.

Our offer to partners goes beyond merely finding work ready individuals – we continue to support those young people in employment whenever they or their employer needs us.

“We’re finding great workers who really bring something special to our company… it’s a business decision that we think works for us commercially but at the same time means we’re doing something that’s right.”– Anthony Pender, Yummy Pubs (NHYC EET Partner Company)

NHYC is also pioneering work between homeless young people and the local community with the ‘Make Chalton Street Great Again’ initiative. Young people on our Social Enterprise Project run a crepe stall at the local market, both improving their employability skills and contributing to the local area.

“I’ve worked on the crepe stall... It helps build up your customer interaction.” – Greg, 21

Getting People on the Road to Success

“It made me see that I do need to focus and get a job and start working hard.” – Josie, 19

CASE STUDY – Justin

The outlook for people leaving prison is generally poor, with many struggling to find jobs or accommodation, greatly increasing the chances that they will turn back to crime to sustain themselves. That’s why we work with young people in prison to come up with an integrated plan to support them upon release.

One such person we engaged with was Justin, whose ambition on finishing his sentence was to become a gym instructor or work in construction. After we helped him find accommodation Justin regularly attended sessions with NHYC’s EET team to prepare him for work. One opportunity that interested him was training with our partners Snowcamp, who offer young people the chance to become snowboarding and ski instructors.

Following a fast‐track programme Justin quickly achieved a level 2 and 3 in snowboarding, while NHYC staff worked with him on the budgeting and communication skills needed to maintain a steady job and accommodation. We also helped him better manage his emotions and resolved practical issues such as photographic ID, with funding from our partners the Josephine Wolf Trust.

A positive future now awaits Justin. In recognition of the commitment he’s shown he’s been offered a full bursary to complete the training which will allow him to begin working for Snowcamp as a fully‐fledged snowboarding instructor. Justin’s journey is testament to the transformations young people can make with our comprehensive support.

“I turn the music louder so I won’t hear my thoughts but it’s stupid because the lyrics remind me of what I’m trying to forget.” Beth

The stress of homelessness often results in poor mental and physical health for young people we support. Many are already dealing with the aftermath of traumatic childhoodexperiences, from domestic abuse and poverty to having fled conflict in their home country. Some present with serious physical health issues but are unable to access a GP due to having no fixed address.

That’s why our integrated approach to improving and maintaining young people’s health and wellbeing is so vital. Our holistic programme of support enables us to address the impact homelessness has on a young person’s health as well as the often complex needs they bring on top of this. Having a safe and welcoming space where young people can meet their basic needs enables them to maintain healthier routines as well as their physical wellbeing.

Our on‐site nurse offers young people access to health assessments, treatment and referrals where they otherwise may not be, or feel, able to access them as well as advocacy and support to get them to the targeted support they need.

Having someone to talk to is a vital lifeline for vulnerable young people in crisis. Our in-house counsellor responds to that need, helping young people develop the strategies to cope and improve their emotional resilience going forward.
