Silai for Skills is an education project dedicated to increasing womens' confidence, skills and opportunities for personal and professional development. The centre affords women access to education and further learning, whatever their financial situation. Courses focus on literacy, numeracy and English as a second language, as well as a variety of practical courses in textiles, hairdressing and childcare.
SPAN (Single Parent Action Network) works empower and engage disadvantaged single-aprent families living in poverty and isolation. The Study Centre here at the Silai Centre offers courses, personal development, childcare and other support services to families in the Bristol area.
