West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker hailed the Colebridge Trust in Solihull for 'changing lives' and helping people facing a range of challenges gain the confidence needed to get employment.

During the past year, 500 people living in North Solihull and East Birmingham with issues such as learning disabilities, long-term health problems as well as single parents and people aged over 50 have been supported.
