IMPORTANT NOTICE – Please Read…
Due to a glitch in our website’s search engine optimisation (SEO), results for the Blyth Star Enterprises website often show up in Google searches made for homeless support in the Blyth area.
Unfortunately, we do not provide services for those experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of becoming homeless. Blyth Star Enterprises is a charitable organisation and commissioned service which exclusively supports individuals with complex mental health needs and learning disabilities.
However, there are lots of fantastic organisations operating locally within the Blyth and wider North East area who DO provide homeless support for those in need of temporary accommodation, as well as other services such as the provision of food parcels and clothing.
If you are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless and you need help, or you are looking to support a homeless charity through a donation of goods or funding, we have listed some of these organisations below to help signpost you to the correct service.
