Crisis Skylight Birmingham
Crisis Skylight Birmingham is an outreach service that works with homeless and vulnerable adults aged 18 years and over.
Our structured 12 week programme, taster sessions and one-to-one support will help you learn more skills, improve your confidence and support your journey towards independence. For full details view our winter 2012 timetable.
These activities are delivered at a variety of locations in Birmingham, and in collaboration with a wide array of local organisations with whom we are working in partnership.

In 2010/11 Crisis Skylight Birmingham worked with over 400 single homeless adults in Birmingham. Our members achieved significant outcomes on their way to becoming more independent and realising their potential.
We are pleased with our first year's outcomes and the learning from our first year has given us a great platform to deliver even bigger and better outcomes in future years.
Our new year started on 1 July - since then we have seen 205 members engage in a learning activity. Already we have supported six members into sustainable employment and 17 members have achieved a qualification. Many more will do so as the term comes to a conclusion in December.
We have started four significant programmes of work since July:
- Big Lottery: Move Up, Move On Project
- NIACE Adult & Community Learning Fund Project
- Business In The Community, Get Ready! Programme
- NIACE Quick Reads Pilot
