KINGSHURST Caterpillars Playgroup has been awarded almost £50,000 by Children in Need.
The three-year grant, announced earlier this month, will enable the group to offer supported play sessions to two to four-year-olds.
Set up in 2005, the organisation recently moved to a new home, with the ribbon cut at the School Close base back in March.
Melinda Connelly, BBC Children in Need's Regional Head of the Central Region said: "We are delighted to be announcing additional funding in Solihull.
"All of our funding goes on to positively impact the lives of disadvantaged children and young people, and recently awarded projects really will go on to change young lives in the area."
Funding has also been set aside for Solihull Action Through Advocacy, which will receive £61,826, and the borough's refugee support charity Entraide, which has been awarded £77,631.
