Company activities and impact

AFC Solihull CIC continued to operate as a community-focused grassroots football club throughout the financial year, centred around the provision of a single senior men’s team competing in the local football pyramid. The club delivered regular training sessions and weekly competitive fixtures, providing opportunities for adult players to participate in structured, affordable football. The organisation places a strong emphasis on inclusivity, welcoming players from a range of backgrounds and abilities, including those who may have previously fallen out of the game or are seeking a positive environment to re-engage with football. Beyond its on-field activity, AFC Solihull CIC contributes to the local community by promoting physical health, mental wellbeing, and social inclusion. The club provides a supportive and sociable environment, helping to build friendships, reduce isolation, and improve confidence among participants. Matchdays and club-related activities also bring together players, supporters, and local residents, strengthening community cohesion. The club is volunteer-led, creating opportunities for individuals to become involved in coaching, administration, and matchday operations. This supports both the sustainability of the organisation and the personal development of those involved through the acquisition of new skills and experience. Operating from its home ground at Rumbush Lane, the club continues to provide a welcoming and accessible local sporting outlet. Overall, AFC Solihull CIC has delivered a positive social impact by offering consistent access to grassroots football, supporting wellbeing, and fostering a strong sense of community within Solihull and the surrounding area.

Consultation with stakeholders

AFC Solihull CIC recognises its key stakeholders as including its players, coaching staff, volunteers, supporters, match officials, league representatives, and the local community using and accessing its facilities at Rumbush Lane. Stakeholder consultation is carried out on an informal and ongoing basis throughout the season. Players and coaching staff are regularly consulted through direct communication at training sessions and on matchdays, as well as through group messaging platforms. Volunteers and club officials are engaged through regular discussions and planning meetings. Feedback from supporters and members of the local community is typically gathered during matchdays and club events. As a result of this engagement, the club has taken a number of actions in response to stakeholder feedback. These include improvements to the matchday experience, adjustments to training arrangements to better suit player availability, and enhancements to communication channels to ensure stakeholders are kept informed of club activities. The club has also made efforts to maintain an inclusive and supportive environment, reflecting feedback from players and volunteers regarding the importance of club culture and accessibility. This ongoing dialogue ensures that AFC Solihull CIC remains responsive to the needs of its stakeholders and continues to operate in a way that reflects the interests of the community it serves.
