With summer holidays kicking off, many families—as well as those facing food poverty—are feeling the squeeze. At BU Homes, we stand proudly with our community in B92 and beyond. We’ve partnered with Community Essentials to support Solihull’s emergency food bank, and we want to bring everyone along.
Why it matters
Community Essentials helps local residents in Solihull’s B‑postcodes (B11, B13, B14, B25–28, B33, B40, B47, B90–94). They provide three days worth of nutritious food parcels—packed with cereals, pasta, rice, tinned goods, tea/coffee, juice, biscuits, milk, and when available, toiletries and hygiene items—on a simple self-referral basis
This lifeline gives people a vital bit of breathing space—exactly what summer support is all about.
How you can get involved
➡️ Need help?
If you live in one of the B‑postcodes listed above and are struggling, submit a self-referral on the Community Essentials website. You’ll receive a confirmation email or text, then collect your parcel at the agreed time.
Please don’t turn up without booking—collections are by appointment only .
