Day Services

Blyth Star Enterprises offers a two-fold approach to day service provision.

Our social care day service at The Steamboat in Blyth supports adults at risk of social isolation and mental health deterioration through a programme of engaging activities that promote social integration and independent living skills.

Operating alongside this service, we have two small business enterprises within the community – a horticultural plant nursery and a woodfuel factory and carpentry workshop which provide accredited training opportunities and simulated work experience for those who need vocational support.
