What We Do

We support our community in different ways. We run activities in the community room, where adults learn new skills, gain confidence and meet others. We fund and/or support enrichment activities for children and families, such as family swimming, cycling and sport. We support families by helping them to access extra activities, and we help individuals by providing support. We have a small welfare fund to help families facing particularly challenging times.

Sometimes, hardship can feel overwhelming, but we believe that celebration and creativity bring immense benefits – even at the most difficult of times. New experiences, enjoyed together, remind us that we share a universal human experience. We find new connections, feel welcomed and build new friendships through new creative activities. If you have any questions, email us at friendsofhannahmore@gmail.com

Other Activities

We support many different things! One of our popular and long-running projects is our Saturday family swim project, which helps people to enjoy supported, swimming sessions at Easton pool. Sessions run during Spring and Summer. Here's a recent picture! Sessions will run again from Spring 2026.

Recent Activities

Last winter we ran energy saving workshops so that people could gain skills to draft-proof their houses and save money. We hope to run more workshops in autumn 2024.

An endowment grant from Eastside Community Trust helped us to support a bonfire party for local families once again in 2024. Travelling Kitchen organised hot dogs and a team of volunteers from GoodGym helped out with the bonfire.

We are partnered with the SS Great Britain to signpost parents to their wonderful community research project.

Whenever we can, we run trips and visits to nearby attractions. This helps people to access attractions in the city by removing financial and other barriers.

We are so pleased to be working with Travelling Kitchen to offer new cooking activities to our community.

We were delighted to fund some Explorerdome sessions for Reception and Year 5 at the school last year. Parents also joined in with these session.
