During lockdown, Hannah has been identified as someone at risk of severe illness if she catches COVID-19, so she has returned home to be with her family. During this time, the Friendship Circle have constantly been in touch with Hannah, and within a week of her being home, she received an activity pack that's kept her occupied! 

They've set up an incredible programme of wide ranging interactive activities from singing and yoga, to discussions on current events. She's looking forward to the talent show!

Most years, Hannah’s dad and brothers run the Manchester 10K for the Friendship Circle, and this year it's Hannahs turn. She will aim to walk 2 kilometres in her garden, with support.

Walking isn't easy for Hannah so she'll do a little each day leading up to the date of the planned 10K on May 24th. 

Hannah hopes you can support her and the vital work of the Friendship Circle, so that they can continue to offer an incredible support network to her and her friends. Many of Hannah’s friends were unable to go home and the Friendship Circle have gone above and beyond to offer a daily buddying service, so that no-one should feel alone at this very difficult time.

The Friendship Circle’s goal is to provide everyone with physical and learning disabilities the support, friendship and inclusion they deserve by providing a diverse range of fully integrated recreational and social programmes. We aim to combat loneliness and isolation through a variety of activities including day trips, nights out, weekly classes, parties, one to one buddy outings and much more.
