We were saddened to learn about the passing of Dr Paul Stephenson OBE this weekend. Dr Stephenson, a key figure in the Bristol Bus Boycott in 1963, dedicated his life to fighting for equality and civil rights across Bristol and around the world.

We've been working with Alive Activities and residents at two local care homes who have been learning to brew beer. The aim is to improve the lives of older people, including those living with dementia. Cheers! 🍺 brnw.ch/21wOKrl @hellobrigstow BBC Bristol
