We are a small charity which supports our community in central Bristol. We involve everyone and offer opportunities, especially to people who are new to the area, families on low incomes, people who may be isolated or face multiple barriers. We support families connected to Hannah More Primary School, but many of our activities are also open to the wider community.
We raise funds mostly through applying for grants. Currently we have funding from Quartet, the Society of Merchant Venturers, and several other sources. We have good links with community groups, local businesses and companies in the area.
We have existed since 2007 and we registered as a charity in 2021. Our trustees, committee and volunteer all live and work locally.
Our email address is friendsofhannahmore@gmail.com
Our charity registration number is 1196297
The school we are linked to has a wonderful mix of communities and lots of involvement from parents and carers. The current Headteacher, who joined the school in 2022, said: 'I knew that I wanted to work here because the sense of community was so strong'. We believe Friends of Hannah More is a big part of that!
