This International Women's Day, we’re honouring the incredible older women in our community, whose stories, resilience, and wisdom continue to shape Solihull for the better.

Many older women have spent a lifetime caring for others, breaking barriers quietly, and navigating challenges that often go unseen. Yet their voices, achievements, and experiences are just as vital today as ever.

At Age UK Solihull, we see every day how older women contribute to our borough. As well as the inspirational older women we support, we are lucky to have a wonderful team of women working with us as staff, volunteers, Trustees and community partners.

Let’s make sure older women are heard, valued, and included — not just today, but every day.

If you know an older woman who inspires you, please share a message below and help us celebrate the women who make Solihull shine.

Could you spare a little time to help older people in Solihull claim the support they’re entitled to?

We’re recruiting Attendance Allowance Volunteers to help older residents apply for Attendance Allowance - a benefit that can make a huge difference to someone’s independence, wellbeing and quality of life.

You don’t need previous experience. We’ll give you full training, ongoing support and everything you need to feel confident in the role. What matters most is patience, empathy and a desire to help people who may be struggling with health issues or daily living.

As an Attendance Allowance Volunteer, you will:
• Support older people to complete Attendance Allowance forms
• Help them feel comfortable and listened to
• Make a real difference to someone’s financial security
• Be part of a friendly, supportive volunteer team

Volunteering with us is fun, rewarding and a great way to build confidence and skills while supporting older people in Solihull.
