Applications now open for Solihull Chamber charity of the year

The Solihull Chamber of Commerce is now taking applications for their charity of the year for 2025.

The Chamber chooses one charity every year to support in their fundraising efforts and help spread the word about the incredible work they are doing within the local community.

The Chamber is now searching for applicants to serve as its charity of the year for the 2025 to 2026 term. The deadline to apply is Thursday, 20 February.

The next charity will take over from Solihull Moors Foundation, who work tirelessly to create a positive pathway for people in the Solihull community through the power of sport. The foundation offers a variety of programmes designed to support the needs of the communities that they serve.

Applicants must be a registered charity as well as a member of Solihull Chamber of Commerce.

After the deadline for nominations, shortlisting for the new charity of the year will take place week commencing Monday, 3 March, followed by pitches to the Executive Committee week commencing Monday, 10 March.

The new charity of the year will then be announced on Thursday, 20 March at the annual general meeting at Cranmore Conference Centre.

Samantha Frampton (pictured), head of Solihull Chamber said: “Becoming the Solihull Chamber of Commerce charity of the year will provide the chosen charity a wonderful opportunity to raise their profile within Solihull and increase their fundraising.

“I would encourage all Solihull member charities to look at applying. The Solihull Chamber executive committee and myself are fully committed to supporting the chosen charity to make a difference to the people of Solihull who need it most.”
