Welcome To The Halle OBrien CIC
The Heart of the Community
Inspiring Kids to Grow
We’re a non-profit organisation dedicated to encouraging children to follow their chosen direction and nurture their natural ability, without a lack of finances holding them back. We aim to help fund children's academic and social development when families are struggling with the cost of extra school activities.
The Halle OBrien CIC was created in memory of a very special young lady whose life ended too soon, before she had a chance to do all the good she could have done in this world. After losing Halle in 2019 to a rare type of meningitis, her mum and family poured their energy into creating a legacy that Halle would be proud of.
What We Do
Halle's Hub
Halle’s Hub, our welcoming pre-loved shop and cafe space is based in Carr Meadow Hey in Netherton. It’s a community space where everyone is welcome to drop in to shop, chat, enjoy a brew, access support, and to get involved in the various events and activities that take place there.
This is our main source of fundraising, which in turn helps us to support more local young people. Our shop offers a wide range of quality pre-loved goods which not only helps us to raise money for our projects, but also helps families to access cost efficient items when money is tight, and it reduces the amount of goods ending up in landfill!
Support Our Work
We couldn’t do what we do without the generous support of people like you. Whether you buy from the shop, donate goods, or you would like to do some fundraising for us, we are always incredibly grateful.
We also do crazy things like abseils, skydives, and sponsored danceathons. You name it, we will try it. Any ideas welcome, please send them to us.
If you would like to support the work we do, drop in to the hub or get in touch.

The founders and driving forces behind The Halle OBrien CIC are Halle’s mum Heather Evans, Heather’s mum June Russell, and Halle’s family. They took their grief at losing Halle, and turned it into a force for good.
For their tireless efforts to build a legacy that honours Halle’s memory, and all of the work they have done to improve the lives of local children, Heather and June were jointly awarded the title of Merseyside Woman of the Year 2023. In 2024 Halle’s was also awarded the Rose Paterson award for Community in sport.
