SILS SiLS is an organisation providing support services across the South and South West of England. Our services are for adults with support needs.

SiLS provides person-centred support services for adults with support needs. Over the last 25 years we have been growing our friendly team of staff and clients and can now proudly say we support over 20% of all long term outreach clients in Bristol. What we mean by care or support:

If you need care, you have someone to look after you and provide for your needs. If you need support, you have someone to help you do things for yourself. This includes adults who have physical or sensory impairments, learning difficulties, mental health issues, frail older people and people who for any other reason are unable to care for or protect themselves. We most often provide services to adults with learning difficulties and adults with mental health support needs. How can SiLS support you?

•Planning support to be individually tailored to your personal goals and lifestyle.
•Managing money.
•Daily living; shopping, cooking, cleaning etc.
•Creating and sustaining relationships with family and friends.
•Work and education opportunities.
•Living an all-round balanced and healthy lifestyle including exercise and nutrition.
•Keeping safe within your home and community.
•Talking on your behalf through the phone/in meetings/at appointments.
•To support you with moving on; in whatever way that means to you. Our 7 main principles are there to make sure that you:

• Have your rights
• Have choice
• Have privacy
• Are valued for who you are
• Have the opportunity to have a fulfilling life
• Can take part in your own community if you wish
• Have independence even if there is some risk

For 26 years, SiLS has been shaped by one simple belief: people should be supported to live independently, on their own terms.

What began in 2000 as a response to two people wanting homes of their own grew into a community‑led approach to independent living built around listening, respect and practical support when it’s needed most.

In our latest blog, we share the story of how SiLS began, how we’ve grown, and why putting people first still guides everything we do today.

Step into our Listening Hub and be welcomed by trained volunteers who are here to give their time and support, for you, a friend, family member, or colleague who might be struggling with their mental health.

You’re welcome to just walk in, but we recommend booking an appointment to make sure the hub isn’t busy and you can be seen straight away.

Our services user getting in the spirit for Halloween this year with his creative decoration🕷️🕸️🎃

At SiLS, we love to celebrate all occasions with service users no matter what it is. The "burrr months" are here, but that just means any celebrations get a little cozier✨
We encourage others to do what they enjoy and if we can be apart of that, that’s great!😁

Who else enjoys Halloween?🦇
We would love to see you decorations if you’re happy to share!👻
