Factsheets, Guides and Local Information
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. To access support or find out more about venues in your area, please visit www.casb.org.uk or call 0121 788 6527.
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.
