Hannah Fitzpatrick
Trustee

Hannah Fitzpatrick is a Senior Project Manager for SOS-UK, a student led charity that seeks to transform the education system and supports young people to learn, act and lead for environmental justice. Previously a teacher and curriculum leader in one of Manchester’s inner city primaries, Hannah has a History degree from Durham University, a Primary PGCE from Manchester University, and is a Member of the Chartered College of Teachers. Passionate about the transformative power of literacy and the vital role of education in society, Hannah previously worked on the delivery of an outstanding and ambitious learning offer through close working with a variety of Manchester’s cultural organisations, including its libraries. She is also a governor of Bridgelea, Manchester’s primary Pupil Referral Unit and SEMH specialist provision, and brings expert knowledge around inclusion and removing barriers to education. She has also been heavily involved in UNICEF’s Rights Respecting Schools Award, and has worked on several key projects promoting children’s rights in schools. Hannah is incredibly excited to be a trustee – she relishes any opportunity to support children and families in Manchester, and to bring reading and books to everyone, regardless of their background. She lives in south Manchester with her young daughter, who enjoys regular visits to Manchester Central Library’s wonderful Children’s Library.
