21 February 2023 – Titan Wealth Holdings

Every year, thousands of young Londoners are pushed into homelessness and danger through no fault of their own.

That’s why New Horizon Youth Centre exists, and why our new sponsorship is all the more important.

Based in the King’s Cross area, New Horizon Youth Centre (NHYC) is a non-profit organisation offering support to young people aged 16-24 to overcome the barriers life has put in their way and solve their homelessness for good. Through their day centre and outreach services, they offer expert help with health, safety, youth work, and housing.

Statistics have been provided for us by the charity on the stark reality of the UK’s youth homelessness crisis. In their 2021 annual report, NHYC recorded that 30% of youth they provided services to have experience of the care system, and 32% have experienced the criminal justice system.[1] The charity also reports a 20% increase of young people sleeping rough in 2020 compared to 2019.[2] As well as providing housing, NHYC work tirelessly to bring stability, safety and support that a young person needs to start getting their lives back on track.

At Titan Wealth Holdings, we continue to be impressed by the work that NHYC undertake. Our partnership arose from Executive Partner, Julian Parker’s fondness and support for the charity, and Titan Wealth Holdings were keen to take over the sponsorship of the NHYC after acquiring GPP’s custody and clearing firm. We’re proud to sponsor such a charity, and we’ll keep doing our part to aid NHYC in their task to provide homeless youth with opportunities and solid foundations. For as long as young people find themselves homeless and unsafe in London, NHYC will be on a mission to give their potential a home.
