Hannah McKinnon has been on a weight loss drive to ensure she can raise money for one of the county's most important charities.

Hannah McKinnon is the reservation manager at the Holiday Inn in Telford and was too heavy to skydive when she initially considered it in 2023, but she spent a year dedicated to weight loss so that she could raise money.

The Holiday Inn is part of the Southwater Events Group, which made Hope House its official charity for two years after a staff vote.
