Here are Ade’s top-five Bristol favourites:
is needed now More than ever
Southmead Hospital
“I have spent 12 years of my life in and out of this hospital – more outs than ins thank God! Special thank you to the nurses, doctors and staff for their efforts in keeping me alive with my dialysis treatment.”
The Green Man
“I just love the quizzes and atmosphere on Wednesday evenings at this Kingsdown pub.”
Leigh Woods
“I think this is the best part of Bristol. Where else can you find such tranquility?”
Ujima Radio 98fm
“This local community radio station has given me a new perspective in life and has formed a huge part of my therapy in redirecting my energy into a worthwhile organisation, while undertaking three sessions of dialysis per week at the same time.”
MTM Awards
“I am the happy owner of a special recognition MTM award from 2015 alongside former Bristol lord mayor Faruk Choudhury for our work in increasing awareness for blood and organ donation within the BAME communities.”
