Heather Evans & June Russell

The Halle O’Brien CIC
Merseyside Woman of the Year - Winner
Inspirational Women - Runner Up

Through the most heart-breaking of circumstances. Heather Evans set up the Halle O'Brien CIC in 2020, in memory of her beautiful daughter Halle, who passed away in 2019 at the age of 19, after contracting a rare form of meningitis. Halle’s Hub is a space for the Ford Lane community, focusing on supporting young, disadvantaged people. Heather and June, supported by their family, set up the CIC to keep alive Halle's dream of helping children to learn and develop both socially and academically. Their mission statement is: ‘inspiring kids to grow’ and Halle’s legacy lives on in the knowledge of young lives made easier, communities brought together, and happy memories made.
