Transform Lives, Break Barriers – Your Support Creates Change
🌍 Who We Are
We are Functional Skills Education Centre, a small non-profit with a big vision: Providing Opportunities for Everyone. For years, we’ve self-funded our mission to empower individuals through education, employment, and financial stability. Now, we need your support to expand our impact and create lasting change through our GoFundMe campaign.
💙 Why It Matters
Education isn’t just about classrooms—it’s about
freedom.
Employment isn’t just about jobs—it’s about
dignity.
Financial stability isn’t just about money—it’s about
security.
We don’t just provide temporary fixes—we build long-term solutions that transform lives.
📖 Shireen’s Story – Overcoming Barriers, Breaking Chains
Shireen, one of our founders, knows first-hand the struggles of systemic inequality. From a young age, she faced racial abuse that left deep scars, shaping how she saw herself and her opportunities.
But she refused to let injustice define her. Education became her way out. Despite the obstacles, she fought not just for herself—but for others like her. She made a choice: to create opportunities, to break cycles, to ensure no one else suffers in silence or struggles alone.

Success Stories: Real Lives Transformed
Meet the Faces of Change
Sheila’s Journey:
Sheila came to us overwhelmed by debt, lacking qualifications, and unable to find work. After assessing her situation, we helped her negotiate affordable payment plans to manage her debts. However, with a shortfall of £500, Sheila’s financial struggles were still a barrier to her progress.
Through our bespoke Education and Employability Support Pack, Sheila gained essential qualifications in English, Maths, and ICT/Digital Skills. She also received employability support and work experience, giving her the confidence and tools to secure a job.
Sheila’s story is a testament to the power of holistic, personalised support. Your donations can help us transform more lives, one step at a time.
