Hannah Blackmore

Hi everyone! I'm Hannah and this is my first Blueprint bike ride. I'm from Jersey in the Channel Islands, UK, and now live in Hobart, Tasmania. I am a painter and I'm currently creating a business skills course for artists. Thanks for sponsoring me on this epic and worthy challenge, it is great to be a part of it and see first hand what a difference we can make in the world. I appreciate your support!

What we do

At Hands, we value most of all creating a life of choice for our kids, rather than one of chance. We do this by investing in their futures because we know that if you want long term results, you need to make long term commitments.

5 ways to get involved with Giving Tuesday

#givingtuesday is about giving to those less fortunate. It’s about giving to those who don’t have the luxury of all that we have in our own lives. It’s about giving the kids at Hands a life of choice.

Our story

We didn’t set out to start a charity, we didn’t set up a fundraising page in the hours that followed looking to capitalise on the human tragedy that unfolded before our eyes. Our origins occurred at a temple in Bang Muang north of the epic centre of the destruction in Khao Lak, months after the attention of the world was turning away.
