Mayor of Solihull visits Troop Aid

On 14 November 2025, the Mayor of Solihull, Councillor Annette McKenzie, paid a visit to Troop Aid.

The Mayor was warmly welcomed by staff and volunteers, who delivered a short presentation outlining the vital work carried out by the charity. During the visit, Councillor McKenzie learned more about Troop Aid’s ongoing commitment to supporting injured service personnel and veterans.

She expressed how impressed she was with the dedication, compassion, and impact of the charity’s work. As a kind and thoughtful gesture, the Mayor also took the time to sign several “Get Well” cards, which will be sent to injured service members to offer encouragement and support during their recovery.

Solihull Councillor Annette McKenzie has shown a strong commitment to community engagement throughout her time as Mayor. Her visit reflected her genuine interest in local charities and the valuable role they play in supporting those in need.

By taking the time to meet staff, learn about their work, and personally engage in small but meaningful gestures, she demonstrated her support for both the charity sector and the Armed Forces community. Her encouragement and interest were greatly appreciated by everyone at Troop Aid and served as a reminder of the importance of civic leadership in recognising and celebrating the efforts of local organisations.
