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 someo

ne 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

When we first met IB, she was finding it incredibly difficult to manage treatment-resistant schizophrenia. It was affecting not just her health, but her home environment and ability to live independently.

Our support workers recognised that IB needed flexibility, patience, and consistent support. They stayed by her side through the toughest moments, helping to manage her health while working closely with her GP and community psychiatric nurse.

With the right support in place, IB began to regain control and confidence. Over time, she was able to thrive again, even reorganising her flat with her support worker, without feeling overwhelmed.

Have you read our 2026 Impact Report yet?

It shares some of the real stories behind the support we’ve provided over the past year, and the difference it’s made to the people we work with every day.

For over 25 years, we’ve supported thousands of individuals with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs and other additional needs. Every person is different, which is why we take the time to build support plans that are tailored to each individual.

Everything we do is driven by a genuine passion to help people feel more confident, independent, and supported in their everyday lives.

If you or a loved one could benefit from the kind of support we provide, take a look at our latest report: https://ow.ly/WBx450Z4GsK

Are you thinking you might benefit from our support services?

If you or someone you know could use our assistance, referals can be made by your GP, social worker, family member, or even self-reffered.

To start the process, request a Care Act Assessment from your GP. They will refer you to Social Services, who will then arrange an assessment with a Social Worker. If support is deemed necessary, they will refer you to us. If you'd prefer privately funded support, feel free to reach out to us directly without going through your GP.
