Silx Employability Project

Our Mission

Silx Youth Project has been providing young people aged 11-25 living in the Blyth area with recreational, educational projects, activities and positive interventions for over 20 years through our employability sessions, Teen Bar evening sessions, and detached work. We are open 50 weeks each year, are staffed by professionally qualified youth workers, and our activities are free.

How we do it

We offer support and guidance to young people on a wide variety of issues including employment, training, health, housing, benefits, mental health, bullying, healthy eating, self-esteem, alcohol, smoking, sexual health, and substance misuse. Our youth workers also engage with young people on the streets through detached work, and we organise trips and events including our annual Youth Festival.
