Anxious families facing a summer struggling to feed young mouths in Bristol have been handed a "vital lifeline" by the city's Solon South West and United Communities housing associations.

We are supporting a search for a Chief Executive to lead a new organisation which would be created by a proposed merger between Solon South West and United Communities associations. 

In line with Government advice, we are able to start some non-urgent works ordered prior to lockdown. We continue to protect the health and safety of residents, staff and contractors.

The Government has recently published a letter to all social residents to provide information about the advice and support they are providing at the moment. 

Working together with United Communities, we have set up a £100,000 fund to help Bristol's community groups respond to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

A message from Solon's CEO, Paul Ville, about our service during lockdown and the potential merger with United Communities.

At Solon, we are concerned that during the lockdown period, some of our residents may feel isolated or become worried about paying bills or obtaining some of the basic household items. In order to prevent these concerns we have decided to try and contact all those residents that we feel would benefit from a phone call or some type of contact.

We have therefore initially identified around 800 residents who are elderly, infirm, may be in some need of support or simply would benefit from a call.

A message to all of Solon's stakeholders and partners.

With the continuing developments of COVID-19, Solon would like to advise residents and communities to protect themselves from catching and spreading the virus.

Come and join us for a fun day with the kids where you can talk to us about making your community safer. 

Solon South West Housing and United Communities are continuing to explore options around a possible merger, which would create an ambitious new association operation across Bristol and surrounding areas.
