SOLID
SOLID is our online directory of services – a community navigation tool that lets you know about local services or groups plus events and volunteering opportunities.. You can even filter by location and area of interest!
Please note, whilst we do our best to keep information as up-to-date as possible, over time community services may change some details such as dates, times, and locations. The information we share is therefore subject to change.
If you find any errors, please let us know by emailing Community@southamptonvs.org.uk so we can amend the incorrect information.
