A big credit needs to go to our team of workers who have planned and delivered
a programme of activities based on the needs of the young people using Silx
Teen Bar Youth Project.
Our Employability Project has made real progression over the year, with
additional bespoke support and courses on offer that attracted 362 individual
young people achieving record number of personal outcomes relating to
accreditations and progressions in life.
Our Teen Bar evening provision improved and developed our Health and Well
being project, by working in partnership with Public Health and
other
organisations to develop awareness raising sessions on topics of interest to the
young people and increase their knowledge and ability to better deal with day to
day issues.
Our increased One to One support for young people across all provision, has
allowed young people and youth workers to develop a better working
relationship, with benefits to young people on emotional wellbeing, mental
health, educational and employability issues.

A word from our Development Manager
'Once again an excellent yearfor Silx Teen Bar Youth Project, with increased numbers accessing
One to One support and utilising the provision on offer.
A big thank you needs to go out to ourfunders, partners and trustees who have supported the
organisation and allowed our team of workers to deliver a provision that always tries to meet
the needs of the young people of Blyth and ensured that our Teen Bor, Street Engogement and
Employability Project continued to lead the way with new and exciting initiatives and
continues to be the most popular youth provider in Northumberland.
Chris Antonyi Development Manager
and a word from our Chairperson...
During the doom and gloom of Covid lockdown many of our young people expressed an unhappy
vision of their own futures, as bu5ine55es downsized and jobs disappeared with subsequent risks to
full employment But, now at Silx Employ(7bility Project, we find that young people are trying
harder to progress and secure a job. Our Employability Project is welcoming greater numbers and
they are using our services for longer periods.
The CSCS course for instance, achieves at least 64% gaining the CSCS qualification allowing them
to work in traditional hord hot oreas such as the building industry. For those that do not make it
the first time our support continues until they are confident to try again. We are also seeing an
increase in other accreditations as well, launching young people on progression routes towards
more secure futures.
Through our Employobility Project, Teen Bor, Detached sessions, Silx delivers such a big service
from the age of 11 to 25. The work is challenging, but intensely satisfying. Yet like so many
organisations around the country, we face our own staffi.ng challenges. Our recruitment is down,
as we try so much harder to employ the right people. Silx has always chased funding from a
variety of source5 and we remain intensely grateful to the funding organisations that provide us
with the funds. But, financial futures have to be fought for. So far, Silx continues to do well, but
no one can be smug about previous year'sfunding because every year presents its own challenges.
Silx has been aroundfor over 25 successful years. We know we can exist or operate successfully by
simply standing 5ti11 but we constantly need to evolve to be5tface the challenges of the time5. And,
we continue to do that in order to deliver the best service possible for the young people that use
us. Just take a look through our annual report and you will see the quality of the work that we do.
We lookforward to continue in 2024/5 and many years beyond.
Jeremy Hayes, Chairperson

12 Month Overview
The increase of One to One support within the Teen Bar and Employability Project
resulted in an increase in numbers of young people who were able to access the
individual support on personal issues, as well as an improvement of individual
achievement and participation.
Improvement to our Employability Project has increased in the variety of accredited
opportunities and individual support which has resulted in 156 accreditations being
achieved throughout the 12 month period.
Recruitment of youth workers continues to be an issue resulting in a reduction of
services within the Teen Bar and Detached sessions, as well as our capacity to
undertake new initiatives and recreational activities within our evening and weekend
and summer provision.
Our development and working in partnership with organisations has been extremely
successful with new organisations referring young people within our Employability
Project and supporting our work on Health and Well being initiatives within Teen Bar
sessions.

Community Involvement
Over the 12 month period young people and youth workers were in involved in the
following Community initiatives:
Heart of Blyth Wellbeing events
Athlone court Intergenerational Christmas project
Projects with Pride NE Youth event
Apprenticeships fair
Northumberland Parent Carer Conference
Detached Team at Blyth Live event
Macmillan Coffee Morning Event organised by Employability young people

Employability Project
Our Employability Project has gone from strength to strength this year with 362 individual young
people aged 16-25 getting support around employment, training and personal issues. Our CSCS
training courses have been very popular with 70 individual young people attending the 4 courses we
have held since May 2023 and 30 to date have passed their CSCS tests. We are continuing to support
those that are still working towards gaining their card and we have another 3 courses planned before
the end of 2024. Referrals for the CSCS training have been at an all time high this year from Job centre
plus, Housing and Social Services to name a few as well as self referrals and referrals from parents and
carers generated from our promotion via social media and of course word of mouth. We have
developed a great working relationship with the local job centres not just in Blyth but also welcoming
young people from Cramlington, Ashington, Bedlington and more recently as far as Alnwick and
Prudhoe. As well as the CSCS training, a large proportion of young people have completed additional
accreditations in subjects such as Asbestos Awareness, Manual Handling, Working at Heights, Food
Hygiene, customer service and more....
This year 31 young people have been supported into
employment, with a large number of these young people
having passed their CSCS tests and now working in a
construction and hard hat industry.
•]
The weekly drop in sessions continue to be incredibly busy
with each session attracting on average 15-20 young people.
This year the team have really focused on one to one support
and worked closely with individuals to create a cv, access
appropriate training and accreditations, job search and apply
for work. Having the dedicated One to One support has
proved invaluable to our young people, giving them the
opportunity to receive additional support around any issues
that are deemed as a barrier to progression. Examples of
recent support have included assisting with Universal Credit
and Personal Independent Payment claims, Housing support,
Mental health support and referrals to local alcohol and
substance misuse services and Health services.

Employability Project: Steps to
Employment and Progression
Each session we are able to record and monitor the support offered to young people
and the progress that was achieved by attending the Employability Project.
Over the period May 1st 2023 until end of April 2024, 362 individual young people
accessed the Employability project which is an increase of 23/ from the previous year.
During this period the following has been achieved:
362 individual young people used the Employability Project 2868 times
97 Cvs were completed or revised
31 young people obtained employment
189 young people accessed One to One support 1402 times
56 referrals were received from external organisations
172 young people were supported on issues relating to debt, housing, benefits,
personal health
156 accreditations were achieved ranging from CSCS, IOSH, Online courses
278 individuals were contacted over the year through Social Media
65 parents contacted the Employability Project
28 young people were involved in fundraising and community activities

Teen Bar Sessions
Monday to Thursday
5pm-7.45pm
Admission Free
Silx Teen Bar has continued to thrive this year through supporting young people between the ages of 11-
19. We have worked with a record number of external organisations to deliver educational workshops
to our young people and provide the relevant information and raise awareness on current issues they
may be experiencing.
The young people's love for cooking and baking has become even more popular with weekly cooking
projects including the Bake Off, Cooking Around the World, Working to a Budget and many more.
During the summer and school holidays we provided a wide range of trips and activities for our young
people to participate and enjoy which included South Shields Pleasure Beach, Ice Skating, Cinema,
Bowling, Inflatespace, Airbox Bounce and Escape rooms. Throughout the year we have involved the
young people with opportunities to be involved in the planning of a Halloween event and the very
popular Clubland themed disco event.
Arts and Crafts projects and activities has dominated our evening sessions with young people being
extremely keen to parkncipate in arts related activities under the guidance of the youth work team.
Willingness to parkncipate and engage young people in activities has continued to be a challenge but new
ideas from workers to encourage young people participate and enjoy the opportunities and encouraged
some young people to develop confidence and their participation in activities.

Health and Well-being activities
We have continued with our Health and Wellbeing sessions, specitically planned to encourage young people to
acquire knowledge and awareness on issues of Mental Health, Use of energy drinks, Online Safety, increased use of
Vapes, Alcohol and Drug awareness, Personal Hygiene and maintaining Relationships. Workers have designed
specific activities for these issues to be discussed in sessions and any issues that may be identified by young
people.
This year the project has worked closely with multiple organisations to deliver the best information and workshops
to our young people about specific issues. We have worked closely with Northumbria Violence Reduction Unit and
had several workshops delivered around Knife Crime, Malicious Communication, and County lines. As well as
getknng them to deliver an alcohol and drug workshop which allowed young people to learn the dangers of taking
substances and both the mental and physical effects.
We have worked with The Public Health Community Team in recent months to create a healthy living program
which was a 4 week program, delivering sessions on.. eat well plate, fats and sugars, portion sizes and the im-
portance of physical activity. This involved a senior health practitioner delivering a tailored program to meet the
needs of our young people in a fun and interactive way which was designed and supported alongside our team of
youth workers
Workers also completed recent training with public health to allow the Making Every Contact Count approach to
be applied in our everyday working.
Our continued focus on Health and Well-being was highlighted further by winning NE Youth's Projects with Pride
Health and Well-being award in October 2023 with staff and young people being invited to celebration awards
night .

Detached Street Engagement Project
Our detached team still continue to have a presence on the streets of Blyth , but there was a
noticeable reduction of young people on the streets of Blyth.
Reduction of staffing resulted in workers only attending areas where young people may
congregate - Skatepark, Beach in the Summer, Ridley Park, Shopping centres.
Young people were also referred to Silx Teen Bar and Employability Project, as well as the
development of a working relationship with police, Fire and Rescue Service, as well as a
presence supporting the role of youth clubs in the Blyth area.
Detached workers were also present at community events like Blyth Carnival, Christmas Light
Switch on, Blyth Live supporting police and other services.
J*

Our plans for the next 12 months May 2024- April 2025
Recruitment of youth workers is an ongoing issue but needs to be a priority for the
organisation.
Improve and increase our offer of out of the area trips and activities over the summer
period

partner organisations

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Youth Projects and activities delivered through People and Drugs over the period
The Trustees and Directors, youth workers, and young people are pleased to present the projects
and achievements of the project for the period 1 st of May 2023 until the end of April 2024.
Despite the continuous issue with the shortage of youth work staff throughout the year, the
organisation managed to deliver a program focusing on the needs of the young people of Blyth.
Over the 12 months, 987 individual young people used our projects and activities, with an
attendance of 8851. There was an increase of 22 % in the number of young people who have used
the Employability Project, as well as an increase in numbers achieving accreditations, and
accessing individual support from youth workers within the Employability sessions.
The Employability Project continues to provide personal support relating to housing, benefits,
welfare and peisonal issues, that are not available elsewhere in Blyth.
CSCS certification and Online courses were very popular with young people with 156
accreditations being achieved over the year, an increase of 690/0 from the previous year. Referrals
from partner organisations were on the increase and have contributed to the increased numbers
attending the Employability Project.
Once again the need to provide One to One support for young people resulted in improved
outcomes for young people, especially relating to individuals with neurodivergent conditions, and
young people experiencing mental health conditions. Referrals to partner organisations improved
the additional offer of support for young people.
Teen Bar sessions continued to be very popular, especially with young people aged 11 to 14,
offering youth provision four evenings a week.
Over the past 12 months, 449 individual young people attended the project 4696 times with 200
sessions being delivered over the year. Health and Well-being support from partner organisations
like the Violence Reduction Unit, and Public Health Community Team improved our offer of
provision and support for individual young people, resulting in our Health and Well Being work
being awarded the NE Youth's Project with Pride Health and Well-Being award October 2023, with
staff and young people being invited to the celebration awards evening.
Due to staffing issues, there was a reduction in the number of detached and outreach sessions,
however, 447 individual young people were contacted throughout the year.
The work with young people on the streets encouraged the increase of post-16 young people who
started using the Employability Project,
Our Summer program was delivered in partnership with Newsham and New Delaval Youth Forum,
with a six-week program of activities as well as a number of out-of-the-area trips and activities,
being delivered over the six-week period.
There was an increase in the organisations involvement in Community Initiatives, with our young
people and workers being involved in Health of Blyth initiatives, the Blyth Live event, delivering a
Macmillan Coffee Morning event, attending Apprentice Fairs, supporting Newsham and New
Delaval Youth Forum with advice, guidance, funding and governance support.

Public beneflt
The objectives of the organisation have remained the same. Over the years we have successfully
been able to diversify and adapt our provision to meet the changing needs of young people and
the Blyth community. All our projects and activities and methodology of delivery are geared
towards providing the young people of Blyth with an offer of provision that benefits the young
people we work with ages 11 to 25.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Funders and Partners
Over the past four years, there has been an increasing emphasis on developing a flexible funding
strategy, in order to meet the financial needs of the organisation. Increasing costs, as well as
increasing competition relating to the submission of funding applications, has prevented the
expansion of our work to meet demand and young people's participation in new initiatives.
There is increasing pressure on the Trustees and Development Manager to increase the hours
allocated to fundraising and the future of the organisation will be dependent on the acquisition of
new funding opportunities.
Additionally, the continuous changing of funding priorities by large funders is making it more
difficult for organisations like us to compete in a constantly changing environment and we are
becoming more reliant on small and medium size funders.
The acquisition of statutory sector funding is becoming an even bigger issue, with an expectation
that the voluntary sector caters to the needs of the community, without statutory financial support.
Currently, the three-year UK Youth Fund comes to an end in May 2025 and that was used to
employ key youth work personnel and allowed us to maintain the existence of the Teen Bar
sessions and support the Employability project as well as develop One to One support for young
people.
The ever-increasing success and demand for the Employability Project, with evidenced outcomes
for young people, has encouraged the acquisition of new funding through the NTCA Small Grants
Fund. Additionally, the excellent support from the Community Foundation, Ballinger Trust, and The
Platten Trust and UK Youth has allowed us to extend and develop our offer to young people
relating to CSCS courses and other accreditations and support for young people.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Review of People and Drugs Itd ( Silx Teen Bar Youth Project)
The Trustees are very appreciative of the funding support that in turn has allowed the organisation
to maintain our offer of provision and to develop new initiatives and activities delivered by the
project and the young people.
The increase in costs due to cost of living expenditure affected the organisation with a £40,000
increase in core costs. Trustees and Directors were fully aware of the situation and were keen to
monitor the implications of the project.
All finances of the organisation are managed and administered using our Sage Financial System
and daily contact between Development Manager and Office Manager allows the management of
Income and expenditure. Additionally, a detailed report is presented to Trustees monthly.
Income for the year 23124 was £192,937, compared to the previous year of £211,826, with an
operational loss of £55,321.
The operational loss of £55,321 was due to increase in cost of living and the need to provide
additional hours to meet the demand for staff sessions and staff salaries to cover absence and
holiday periods,
The balance sheet as at the end of April 2024, states that we are carrying forward £198,918
compared to £254,239 from the previous y8ar.
Reserves policy
The organisation always aims to increase the level of reserves For the year ending April 30th
2024, our reserves stand at £122,565 compared to £123,380 from the previous year,

FUTURE PLANS
Like most youth organisations the next couple of years will be vital to the existence of youth
provision and that applies to People and Drugs Itd (Silx Teen Bat Youth Project).
The ending of Northumberland Youth Service and the reduction of the voluntary youth service in
the Blyth area has resulted in increasing pressures on the voluntary sector to provide quality
provision and meet the necessary demand.
The emergence of Family Hubs and their focus on targeted support, has increased the need for
Universal open-access support.
Maintaining our current provision and staffing levels is the main priority of the Trustees, as well as
increasing the number of youth workers employed by the organisation. Improving the
quality of youth provision, especially relating to providing One to On8 SUPPOrt and developing our
health and well-being initiatives will be our main priority.
In detail, the plans for the next 12 months May 2024 to the end of April 2025 are the following:
>Recruitment and development of new and existing workers.
>lmprove and increase our offer of out-of-the-area trips and activities over the Summer period.
>Develop Teen Bar provisions and increase the variety and quality of activities within the sessions
in order to attract and maintain the interest of the young people.
>lncrease our presence in schools, to support the role of schools and make young people aware of
our work with young people.
>Continue to improve our social media presence with young people, funders and partners
>Maintain our detached sessions on the street and work closely with partner organisations in
delivering street-based initiatives.
>Find and develop new training and accreditations, as well as develop new packages of
Employability support.
>Develop our relationship with partner organisations and local employers and new emerging
training providers, to develop job opportunities, work experience, and volunteering for young
people who are accessing our Employability Project,

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Youth Projects and activities delivered through People and Drugs over the period
The Trustees and Directors, youth workers, and young people are pleased to present the projects
and achievements of the project for the period 1 st of May 2023 until the end of April 2024.
Despite the continuous issue with the shortage of youth work staff throughout the year, the
organisation managed to deliver a program focusing on the needs of the young people of Blyth.
Over the 12 months, 987 individual young people used our projects and activities, with an
attendance of 8851. There was an increase of 22 % in the number of young people who have used
the Employability Project, as well as an increase in numbers achieving accreditations, and
accessing individual support from youth workers within the Employability sessions.
The Employability Project continues to provide personal support relating to housing, benefits,
welfare and peisonal issues, that are not available elsewhere in Blyth.
CSCS certification and Online courses were very popular with young people with 156
accreditations being achieved over the year, an increase of 690/0 from the previous year. Referrals
from partner organisations were on the increase and have contributed to the increased numbers
attending the Employability Project.
Once again the need to provide One to One support for young people resulted in improved
outcomes for young people, especially relating to individuals with neurodivergent conditions, and
young people experiencing mental health conditions. Referrals to partner organisations improved
the additional offer of support for young people.
Teen Bar sessions continued to be very popular, especially with young people aged 11 to 14,
offering youth provision four evenings a week.
Over the past 12 months, 449 individual young people attended the project 4696 times with 200
sessions being delivered over the year. Health and Well-being support from partner organisations
like the Violence Reduction Unit, and Public Health Community Team improved our offer of
provision and support for individual young people, resulting in our Health and Well Being work
being awarded the NE Youth's Project with Pride Health and Well-Being award October 2023, with
staff and young people being invited to the celebration awards evening.
Due to staffing issues, there was a reduction in the number of detached and outreach sessions,
however, 447 individual young people were contacted throughout the year.
The work with young people on the streets encouraged the increase of post-16 young people who
started using the Employability Project,
Our Summer program was delivered in partnership with Newsham and New Delaval Youth Forum,
with a six-week program of activities as well as a number of out-of-the-area trips and activities,
being delivered over the six-week period.
There was an increase in the organisations involvement in Community Initiatives, with our young
people and workers being involved in Health of Blyth initiatives, the Blyth Live event, delivering a
Macmillan Coffee Morning event, attending Apprentice Fairs, supporting Newsham and New
Delaval Youth Forum with advice, guidance, funding and governance support.

Public beneflt
The objectives of the organisation have remained the same. Over the years we have successfully
been able to diversify and adapt our provision to meet the changing needs of young people and
the Blyth community. All our projects and activities and methodology of delivery are geared
towards providing the young people of Blyth with an offer of provision that benefits the young
people we work with ages 11 to 25.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Funders and Partners
Over the past four years, there has been an increasing emphasis on developing a flexible funding
strategy, in order to meet the financial needs of the organisation. Increasing costs, as well as
increasing competition relating to the submission of funding applications, has prevented the
expansion of our work to meet demand and young people's participation in new initiatives.
There is increasing pressure on the Trustees and Development Manager to increase the hours
allocated to fundraising and the future of the organisation will be dependent on the acquisition of
new funding opportunities.
Additionally, the continuous changing of funding priorities by large funders is making it more
difficult for organisations like us to compete in a constantly changing environment and we are
becoming more reliant on small and medium size funders.
The acquisition of statutory sector funding is becoming an even bigger issue, with an expectation
that the voluntary sector caters to the needs of the community, without statutory financial support.
Currently, the three-year UK Youth Fund comes to an end in May 2025 and that was used to
employ key youth work personnel and allowed us to maintain the existence of the Teen Bar
sessions and support the Employability project as well as develop One to One support for young
people.
The ever-increasing success and demand for the Employability Project, with evidenced outcomes
for young people, has encouraged the acquisition of new funding through the NTCA Small Grants
Fund. Additionally, the excellent support from the Community Foundation, Ballinger Trust, and The
Platten Trust and UK Youth has allowed us to extend and develop our offer to young people
relating to CSCS courses and other accreditations and support for young people.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Review of People and Drugs Itd ( Silx Teen Bar Youth Project)
The Trustees are very appreciative of the funding support that in turn has allowed the organisation
to maintain our offer of provision and to develop new initiatives and activities delivered by the
project and the young people.
The increase in costs due to cost of living expenditure affected the organisation with a £40,000
increase in core costs. Trustees and Directors were fully aware of the situation and were keen to
monitor the implications of the project.
All finances of the organisation are managed and administered using our Sage Financial System
and daily contact between Development Manager and Office Manager allows the management of
Income and expenditure. Additionally, a detailed report is presented to Trustees monthly.
Income for the year 23124 was £192,937, compared to the previous year of £211,826, with an
operational loss of £55,321.
The operational loss of £55,321 was due to increase in cost of living and the need to provide
additional hours to meet the demand for staff sessions and staff salaries to cover absence and
holiday periods,
The balance sheet as at the end of April 2024, states that we are carrying forward £198,918
compared to £254,239 from the previous y8ar.
Reserves policy
The organisation always aims to increase the level of reserves For the year ending April 30th
2024, our reserves stand at £122,565 compared to £123,380 from the previous year,

FUTURE PLANS
Like most youth organisations the next couple of years will be vital to the existence of youth
provision and that applies to People and Drugs Itd (Silx Teen Bat Youth Project).
The ending of Northumberland Youth Service and the reduction of the voluntary youth service in
the Blyth area has resulted in increasing pressures on the voluntary sector to provide quality
provision and meet the necessary demand.
The emergence of Family Hubs and their focus on targeted support, has increased the need for
Universal open-access support.
Maintaining our current provision and staffing levels is the main priority of the Trustees, as well as
increasing the number of youth workers employed by the organisation. Improving the
quality of youth provision, especially relating to providing One to On8 SUPPOrt and developing our
health and well-being initiatives will be our main priority.
In detail, the plans for the next 12 months May 2024 to the end of April 2025 are the following:
>Recruitment and development of new and existing workers.
>lmprove and increase our offer of out-of-the-area trips and activities over the Summer period.
>Develop Teen Bar provisions and increase the variety and quality of activities within the sessions
in order to attract and maintain the interest of the young people.
>lncrease our presence in schools, to support the role of schools and make young people aware of
our work with young people.
>Continue to improve our social media presence with young people, funders and partners
>Maintain our detached sessions on the street and work closely with partner organisations in
delivering street-based initiatives.
>Find and develop new training and accreditations, as well as develop new packages of
Employability support.
>Develop our relationship with partner organisations and local employers and new emerging
training providers, to develop job opportunities, work experience, and volunteering for young
people who are accessing our Employability Project,
