Hannah Bignell

Having grown up in Surrey and having a parent who is a secondary school teacher living in Ash, I know about the local area and hear about some of the issues affecting children in mainstream schools. I personally have struggled with anxiety throughout my life and I am very passionate about what MHF CIO stands for.   I am a charities solicitor specialising in education law at Bates Wells LLP. I really enjoy dealing with schools, colleges, universities and education charities and have been to many board meetings throughout my working life. I am very passionate about education, particularly about fair education and education for all. 

In my spare time, I love walking my Springador Stanley, swimming and playing guitar.
