Here at Hobday Solutions we want to use our platform to give back to the Birmingham Community. We are proud of our story and how far we have come. However not many people can experience the same story that we are grateful for. So this is why we raise money for charities and donate books to children’s wards, toys and blankets to dogs home’s as well as food to local food banks. We understand that we are only small but if we collectively come together we can make that small change which is better than no change.
