A history of empowerment
Built on community, driven by purpose
From the very beginning, Community Solutions was built on a commitment to listening, understanding, and responding to the needs of local people. Founded in 2010 with just £5, and a vision to tackle social isolation and low aspirations, the charity quickly became a trusted lifeline for individuals and families in crisis.
With a strong focus on holistic support, volunteering, and meaningful connections, we have helped thousands find purpose, confidence, and a sense of belonging.
Our story
Community Solutions has grown from a small initiative into a vital lifeline for thousands. Now based in Elmfield Hall, we remain dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges, foster connections, and build a stronger, more supportive community.
