Friends of Hannah More is run by volunteers. We have a group of six trustees, a small committee and some regular volunteers. We all live, work or volunteer in the city centre. We involve people from across the community and we make sure that our trustee board and committee reflect this diversity.
We run occasional events, activities for adults, and extras for children such as bike club and girls' fitness. We support the school by helping to fund trips, celebrations, enrichment activities and more. We also signpost people to other sources of support and other activities which may benefit them. We have a small welfare fund to help people in extreme need.
Shaazna is one of our six trustees. Other current trustees are Fatoumata Ba, Viv Bignell, Ruth Cochrane, Sarah Franke and Iwona Salamon. We are always keen to recruit new trustees and would particularly welcome anyone with relevant skills.
As well as our trustees, we have a small committee who also support our work. Charlene Lawrence, pictured here, is one of our committee members. She is also a school governor at Hannah More Primary.
We value our diverse community immensely. All our activities welcome people from very different backgrounds and participants often volunteer to help with events.
