A NEW cafe and community hub have opened at Solihull Moors Football Club.
The ribbon was cut at Moorish and Solihull Moors Foundation welcomed the Mayor of Solihull, Annette Mackenzie, and Solihull Council leader, Councillor Karen Grinsell for a special visit.
The duo were welcomed by trustees, staff, stakeholders, Foundation beneficiaries and parents, as well as key local business representatives and Darryl Eales, chairman of Solihull Moors FC and long-time supporter of the Foundation.
Moorish will be open every evening during the week and throughout the day on weekends, providing a safe, welcoming space for youngsters, families, and the wider community.
Joe Butler, community operations manager at Solihull Moors Foundation, said: “This launch marks another exciting step in the Foundation’s mission to create opportunities, promote wellbeing, and make football and community support more accessible to everyone.
“A huge thank you to Louie and Laura, who will be leading Moorish with unwavering passion and dedication. Their work will help ensure Moorish becomes a vibrant, community-led hub for all to enjoy.”
The Mayor said: “It was a real pleasure to visit Solihull Moors Football Club and its Foundation and witness first-hand the incredible work they are doing, not just on the pitch but in the heart of our community.
“Their commitment to supporting children and young people through sport, education, and outreach is truly inspiring.”
