At Solihull Methodist Church, we have a Project each year to raise both funds and awareness for a worthy cause, with events throughout the year. 2017-2018 sees the focus of the Project on two charities helping the homeless:
- Solihull Churches Action on Homelessness (SCAH), and
- The Choir with No Name (Birmingham branch).
These charities were chosen after the congregation was moved to take action after hearing
of the first hand stories of the homeless in our local area. In the past year alone, over 185
vulnerable adults benefited from the CWNN, and they have performed to a cumulative
audience of nearly 4,000 people in Birmingham and the West Midlands.
