BRADLEY STOKE MATTERS

As I write this mid-March we have been blessed with some glorious sunshine.  I for one am definitely ready for a change in the weather this Easter, it feels like it has been raining all winter!

In our latest issue (April/May) we look forward to some spring time fun!  Per our front page, we are pleased to support the Brightwell’s annual Easter trail once again.  Please do join in with this family friendly activity and help raise vital funds for the local centre in the process.   There is a family fun day planned at the Willow Brook Centre in April, and also notice of this year’s Bradley Stoke Festival and the Sole Sister’s annual 10k run, so get these dates in your diary for more family fun on your doorstep.

We share one local man’s experience of the Andy’s Man Club – it inspired him to write a poem in a bid to encourage others – read more on page 19 and definitely share this with anyone who you think might benefit.  We hear news from the Three Brooks Parkrun of their own 14th March Super Saturday, where some amazing local milestones were celebrated – read more on pages 12-13.  We also have a lovely update from the local girlguiding troops on pages 34-35 who are also looking for additional volunteers so that more girls can join in the fun.  The local Scouting groups are also seeking your support, p19.  There are lots of other updates and diary dates within our pages this month, so do have a good look through to make sure you don’t miss anything!

Thank you to all our advertisers who continue to support us, we couldn’t produce this magazine without you.   Please, if you get the opportunity, do let our advertisers know that you have seen them within our pages.  If you are a business looking to promote your services across the local area in 2026, do get in touch and we will be happy to help.

Deadline for the June edition is 8th May.
