If you’re worried about yourself or an older person you know, we are here to help. See our services page or contact us on 0121 704 7840 to find out how we can help.

Important notice

We would like to let Solihull residents know that from 1 October 2026, Age UK Solihull will no longer be the provider of the Solihull Information & Advice services.

The Solihull Information & Advice service, known now as Here2Help, has recently been awarded to another provider.

The current Solihull Community Advice Hubs at The Core and Chelmsley Wood Library will close on 30 September. From 1 October, residents seeking information and advice should contact Here2Help, who will provide support by telephone, email and through multiple face-to-face locations across the borough. Please look out for their contact details coming soon.

Thank you to everyone who has used, supported and championed the Information & Advice services during the time we delivered them. We would also like to thank our incredibly knowledgeable Advisers and volunteers for making such a huge difference over the years.
