Financial Resilience Survey for Solihull Residents
Are you finding it easier or harder to manage financially? We want to hear from Solihull residents about the challenges they face and the support that would make the biggest difference.

Our Financial Resilience Survey is helping us better understand issues such as the cost of living, paying household bills, food affordability, debt, savings, employment, access to advice services and digital inclusion. The findings will help shape future support and services for residents across Solihull.

The survey takes around 5 minutes to complete. As a thank you for taking part, you can choose to enter a prize draw for the chance to win a £50 supermarket voucher.

Your feedback is important and will help us plan and improve local support for residents experiencing financial pressures.

We are also keen to hear directly from local community groups and organisations about financial resilience in Solihull. If your group would like to share feedback, experiences or views on the help and support available, we would be happy to attend a meeting or session to listen and gather feedback. This will help us better understand local needs and inform future support for residents.

📣 COMING SOON! 📣 We’re bringing trusted, face-to-face advice to community venues in all 17 wards of Solihull, making it easier to get help closer to home.

Funded by Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, the service will be delivered by Citizens Advice Solihull Borough in partnership with Colebridge Trust, Entraide UK, Gateway Family Services and Shelter.

The current non-emergency patient transport services (NEPTS) across Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country have been in place for some time and are now being reviewed.

This is an opportunity to help shape how the service could work in the future and we want to hear from people who use, support or have experience of it.

NEPTS is an NHS-funded service providing planned, non-urgent transport to and from healthcare locations. This can include journeys for outpatient appointments, dialysis, oncology treatment, hospital discharges and transfers between hospitals.

NEPTS is different from Ring and Ride, which is a separate community transport service. This survey is specifically about non-emergency transport for NHS patients who are eligible to use NEPTS.

We want to hear about your experiences, what works well, what could be improved, and your ideas for a future service. The survey takes less than five minutes to complete. So, please share your views by Thursday, 1 October.

(Please note that eligibility for NEPTS is set by national criteria and cannot be changed as part of this review. The survey is focused on people's experiences of the service and ideas for how it could be delivered and improved in the future.)
