Solihull Support and Prevention Fund

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council would like to invite community groups and organisations to support the local delivery of the Household Support Fund which is funded through the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

The Solihull Support and Prevention fund’s primary focus is on providing essential help to adult-only households and older residents, aiming not only to prevent and reduce crises during this period but also to ensure access to sustainable, long-term support.

A total funding pot of £100,000 is available through the Household Support Fund (HSF).

Organisations can apply for grants of up to £6,000 to support eligible projects.

Successful projects must meet one of the following priorities:

1.  Promote social wellbeing, by reducing social isolation and loneliness.
2. Support access to healthy and affordable food and meals.
3. Promote digital inclusion, and reduce the barriers for people getting online.

Grants are only available for projects which will be located and benefiting households in Solihull. Organisations applying from outside of the area must demonstrate a connection within the borough.

If successful, grantee’s will need to attend a mandatory workshop regarding end of grant monitoring.

Deadline Dates

• All projects must be fully delivered by Friday 6th March 2026 and your final monitoring report must be returned by Friday 3rd April 2026.

• Application deadline: 8th September.

• Panel meetings: August and September.
