Solihull Council is committed to promoting local groups and organisations in relation to the services and activities that are available locally for individuals and communities. This is all part of our programme of supporting our citizens to find help and fellowship to live well – contributing to health and well-being. As part of this commitment they would like to signpost people to local organisations though our My Life Portal (http://solihull.mylifeportal.co.uk/home/). This new resource is being developed to help individuals and families to find and access the right information, advice and support as well as learn how to get involved in and participate in local activities.
My Life Portal will be regularly updated as new and updated information becomes available and therefore it will retain its relevance for local people.
There is a useful function on SMBC web site where residents can select information updates on a wide variety of topics.
