What we do

HIP in Cheshire (Registered Charity 1162365) provides information, local social activities, courses and mutual support to people with acquired brain injuries, their families, friends and carers. The charity holds monthly coffee mornings throughout Cheshire where members can meet new friends, socialise and support each other.

Social outings

We hold regular social outings to popular attractions in the county such as National Trust venues, popular cities and local museums. We also hold a celebration event in the summer and at Christmas. We receive no core funding as a charity so rely solely on individual donations to fund our core aim: ensuring no one living in Cheshire with an acquired brain injury is lonely or isolated.

Coffee mornings

Our biggest aim is to reduce isolation and loneliness of anyone living in Cheshire with an acquired brain injury. Some members may only choose to come along to the monthly coffee mornings where they can meet friends, have a coffee and chat. We meet:
First Friday of the month at the IBIS styles hotel in Crewe, Emperor Way Crewe Business Park, Crewe, CW1 6BD, United Kingdom. We meet between 10.30 - 12 noon and parking is free BUT dont forget to give your car registration details to the receptionist. 
Second Friday of the month we meet at the Trinity Methodist Church hall , Whitby road, Ellesmere port, CH65 0AT. We meet between 10.30am and Noon there are some car parking spaces in front of the Church but more parking across the road. Check our facebook page for changes and details

Social events

Other members take full advantage of all our activities – attending the social trips and social events on offer. For some this is the only social opportunities they have and therefore depend on us for friendship and company.

Learn new skills 

We also offer our members the opportunity to learn new skills through the courses we offer. Our members tell us what courses they feel they would most benefit from and we aim to provide them where possible. The popular courses are 'Cooking on a budget', 'Photography for beginners', 'Art and Craft', 'Drawing and Sketching' and 'Information Technology'. The courses are tailored to suit their needs and are informal and fun.
