NEW HORIZON provides intensive support for welfare benefits applications for the vulnerable and those most in need. Individuals can access this service by making an appointment with a designated welfare support worker and the service is available to all.
The last two decades the Home Office has dispersed over 10 thousand asylum seekers in the Tyne and Wear (North East of England), Section 95 of the 1999 Act enables the provision of support to asylum-seekers or dependents of asylum-seekers who appear to the Secretary of State to be destitute or be likely to become destitute within 14 days.
To enable New Horizon to continue provide a wide range of service we recruit a team of volunteers with a diverse range of talent, skills, experiences and knowledge that can help the centre help support the local communities needs on a daily basis.
