Latest news

Last June and July we ran a Windrush postcard project. A huge thanks to everyone involved, especially Jazz (artist), Shani (poet), and Laura (print-making expert). The floorbooks we made are a lasting legacy for the school.

We hold community lunches, cooked by a group of talented volunteers,. The most recent of these was in May 2025. We provide a warm, welcomeing space and it is great to see our supporters meeting some of our community.

We help the school with a big community bonfire party every year! Last year this was a lovely event, which welcomed about 200 people. Big thanks to staff who helped, and to Eastside community trust for funding, as well as to the excellent Goodgym volunteers!

Running now:

Yoga Asana and social session - women's evening group
This multicultural Tuesday evening group is for  women living in Lawrence Hill. We build connections between people from different backgrounds as well as enjoying a Yoga Asana session together.  Please email friendsofhannahmore@gmail.com if you want to come as space is limited. Sessions run 6.30-7.30; free parking is available. This session is currently funded until the end of July 2025 thanks to funding from Sport England.

'Cook, Chat and Eat' Fridays
This runs on Friday mornings - the group is for local adults who have not done a cooking course with Travelling Kitchen before. Meet others from different backgrounds and make new friends. 

Craft and Chat
This activity is on Thursday mornings, until the end of May 2025. Each week there's an activity to enjoy, based on a story book. It's a chance to get to know other people in your area. Take home new ideas to try with children too! 

Community cooking
We have use of the school's community room for adults who do not have access to cooking facilities where they live. You need to email us first at friendsofhannahmore@gmail.com - there is an agreement to sign (about child protection and health and safety) and we need people to do a DBS and level 2 food hygiene (which we can help with - and fund).

Drop-in sewing
Drop-in sewing classes for adults have just finished and we are seeking funding to restart these later this year.

Coming up...
