About Us

Building Stronger Communities. Changing Lives.

Colebridge Trust is the community development trust for North Solihull, working every day to help people overcome barriers, build confidence and create better futures.

For over 20 years, we’ve supported individuals, families and community organisations across Solihull and surrounding areas. From employment and skills to health, wellbeing and practical support, we’re here to make sure no one is left behind.

We help people move forward

Whether someone is looking for work, struggling with rising living costs, feeling isolated, or facing challenges linked to disability or health, we provide the right support at the right time.

Every year, we help hundreds of local people to:

• Access jobs, training and volunteering
• Improve their health and wellbeing
• Get practical support through our Social Supermarket
• Build confidence, skills and independence

Rooted in the community

Our work is delivered from the heart of the community:

Junction Community Centre – activities, advice and support
Social Supermarket – affordable food and essentials with dignity
ISO 9001 Social Enterprise – creating real work opportunities
Evergreen Family Hub – supporting families and young people

We also support local charities and community groups to grow, collaborate and secure funding, strengthening the whole voluntary sector.

Local leadership. Real impact.

Working together for a fairer future

Our vision is simple: a community where everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy, happy and fulfilling life.

We can’t do this alone. Our work is powered by partnerships, funding supporters, volunteers and local people who care about their community.

Together, we’re building opportunity where it matters most.
