PEEPS- Support for parents, families & friends of those who have experienced an H.I.E. event (Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy)

Peeps is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting those affected by H.I.E. HIE (opens in new tab) stands for hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. It is a lack of oxygen to the brain that can cause injury. Peeps was set up in 2018 by Sarah & Steve. The name came from friends, who affectionately referred to their daughter Heidi as "Heidi-Peeps".

We’re here to help – and just as every family is different, the support people need can be different. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you need anything or have any ideas.
