Help When You Need It
At SiLS, we understand that life can present challenges, especially for adults with Autism and Learning Difficulties. Our Help When You Need It (HWYNI) service is designed to provide FREE, short-term, and flexible support for adults in North Bristol. Our goal is to empower individuals by helping them navigate their journey toward independence. We believe that everyone has unique strengths, and we focus on building upon these to foster confidence and self-reliance.
Our team of experienced and conscientious support workers is dedicated to connecting individuals with their local community while also providing practical advice. Whether it's through one-to-one visits, drop-in sessions, or community coffee mornings, we aim to create a supportive environment where individuals can feel valued and understood. These initiatives not only help tackle loneliness but also encourage the development of social skills and connections, which are crucial for independent living.
