Loneliness is something many of us experience at different points in our lives, and it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and hard to talk about. At Healthbox, we’ve been supporting people with their mental health and wellbeing since 2018 through counselling, community groups and one-to-one support. If you’re wondering how to stop feeling lonely, you’re not alone, and there are practical steps that can help you reconnect.

We’re proud to announce that Healthbox CIC has been selected as one of the organisations funded through Innovate UK’s £2.5 million investment to scale innovation in community-led approaches to improving health outcomes across the UK. 

With more than £2 billion of investment already in motion, ORIGIN is expected to create up to 30,000 new jobs across a wide range of industries, from engineering, electrical, and mechanical roles to business support, health and safety, project management, and construction. Ellesmere Port has always been an industrial powerhouse, but it’s now taking centre stage in the UK’s green industrial revolution.

New 2026 Dates: Our Understanding Grief bereavement workshop is delivered by experienced counsellors who specialise in supporting individuals through loss. This safe and supportive four-week series will help you explore the foundations of grief, understand why we feel the way we do, and discover practical ways to cope.

We know life can be heavy pressures to be strong, to keep it together, to be the provider or protector. But you don’t have to carry it all alone. Reaching out isn’t weakness; it’s courage. So this November, check in with the men in your life. Go for that walk. Ask twice. And if you’re struggling, take that step, talk to someone, join a group, or reach out for therapy.

Each year, International Day of Older Persons gives us a chance to reflect on the invaluable contributions of older adults in our communities and the importance of supporting them to live well, independently, and with confidence. At Healthbox, we see first-hand the difference that targeted health and wellbeing programmes can make, and nowhere is that more evident than in our Strength & Balance classes.

We are proud to be working in partnership with Liverpool City Council to deliver Mouthcare Matters training to care home staff across the city. This funded initiative is helping to raise awareness and confidence around oral health in care homes, ensuring residents receive the best possible support for their daily needs.

We know that supporting others can be as rewarding as it is challenging. Whether you’re a teacher, support staff, qualified counsellor, trainee counsellor, or working in any role where you directly support people in the community, having a safe and supportive space to reflect is essential.

The Community Home First Project is a shining example of what can be achieved when organisations come together with one shared goal: supporting people to regain independence and reduce the risk of hospital readmission after a fall.

A partnership initiative delivered alongside Koala North West and Home-Start. Together, we are providing vital support for families living in Ellesmere Port, Northwich, and Winsford, with a particular focus on improving wellbeing and access to services.
