Education

Homelessness deskills and isolates

Equipped with new skills people can regain control of their lives and break the cycle of homelessness. 

Our Crisis Skylight centres 

Crisis Skylight, our award winning and accredited education, training and employment centres, offer practical and creative workshops in a supportive and inspiring environment together with formal learning opportunities that lead to qualifications and finding work.  

The wide range of courses, including art, music and drama, bike maintenance and carpentry, literacy, numeracy, IT and ESOL, help people to restore their well-being, regain confidence, build their basic skills and raise their aspirations.  

The centres also provide a critical link with the wider community, both through our volunteer tutors, and the links we foster with a range of arts and education organisations.
