Age UK Solihull is a local charity and we have been committed to providing the best support to older people across the borough for over 40 years. 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.
We have been busy planning activities, meals and gifts for older people who might not otherwise have an opportunity to celebrate this festive period.
Find out how you can get involved and help us to be here for those who need us this tough winter and beyond.

Our Home Support Service has now been transferred to Caremark Solihull, who will continue to provide the service to a high standard, helping older people live safely and independently in their homes for as long as possible.
Our Digital Champion Project offers free digital training for older Solihull residents.
Digital Champion Volunteers will help clients use a tablet or computer and learn skills such as online shopping, communicating via video calls or email, searching for information, accessing online learning and using apps.
Training is delivered via group sessions and one-to-one support. We have a tablet loan scheme for those who do not have their own IT equipment.
The lasting effects of the coronavirus pandemic and rising cost of living have led to more people struggling to make their money stretch to pay for normal daily living expenses.
If you are in debt, the most important thing to do is to ask for help. No one chooses to be in debt but you can choose to get help and support and the earlier you do this the better.
The Solihull Community Advice Hubs are here to help you to find solutions.
Our Linking People Together project tackles loneliness and isolation by offering befriending and social clubs for older Solihull residents, prioritising those who live alone with no family or other support nearby.
Lasting bonds and true friendships are created through the project, keeping older people connected and feeling valued.
