For anyone that knows me and Courtney....This place helped Courtney so much so please help me help them back, they helped her get on her pre college courses, they helped open a bank account, they helped get her into college, they gave her somewhere to go to make friends, play pool and join in with a common circle, so to me this means alot. I love pool but 24hours none stop will be a challenge standing up alone, let alone playing a game to win, to focus and concentrate, this is not an easy task...now abit about the charity....Silx Teen Bar is a multi award winning project that for the past 20 years has been providing young people aged 11-25 living in Blyth with recreational, educational projects, activities and positive interventions.Our team consists of professionally qualified youth workers, an Information, Advice and Guidance worker and volunteers with extensive experience of working with young people.
