A message from Solihull Council regarding access to financial support and foodbanks

Dear Parent/Carers,

Please find below a message from Solihull Council regarding access to financial support and foodbanks

It has been a really difficult year for everyone but it has been especially challenging for those people who are unemployed or who are having to manage on a reduced income. There is a lot of support available for Solihull residents who are struggling financially.

Solihull Council’s Here2Help [link] pages have information on how to access a range of support. This includes access to financial support or help with access to food.

We work closely with a number of local foodbanks in Solihull who are happy to support anyone in need. More information is available on the Here2Help [link] pages.

The council’s call centre can help connect you to local community and neighbourhood support or refer you to a local food bank – just call 0121 704 6000.

Support is also available from The Around Again Social Supermarket in Fordbridge and from Age UK who can do shopping for elderly people with a medical condition or special cultural dietary need.

For more information on all of the support available you can ring Solihull Connect on 0121 704 6000 or go to our Here2Help [link] on the council’s website.
