Simon Criddle, presenter of The Friday Night Rock Show will be running the Bradley Stoke Sole Sister 10K Run on Sunday the 11th of June to raise money to support Bradley Stoke Radio.

Bradley Stoke Radio (BSR) is a community radio station operated fully by volunteers, located north of Bristol and serving the towns and villages of Bradley Stoke, Little Stoke, Stoke Gifford, Patchway, Filton, Almondsbury and several others in South Gloucestershire and North Bristol. BSR provides a voice for local residents and acts as a media platform for local community groups, charities and schools amongst others.

BSR embraces this mix and uses the power of radio to bring together the many diverse groups and individuals in a shared experience and radio broadcast. Whether people are active volunteers or just enjoy the broadcast, content is locally focused and will always give something to the volunteers and listeners and provides a rich variety of opportunity for training, social cohesion and capacity building.

Our mixture of speech based and music interest/genre shows, combined with community programmes and local news are crucial to represent our audience and volunteers and inform everyone about the Bradley Stoke area and the surrounding communities. Our live broadcasting constitutes on average 14 hours a day and outside of these live shows we have a very eclectic music scheduler.

BSR supports live events which include schools, community projects and local authority festivals and displays. Outside broadcasts and local sporting events are also covered (in the last twelve months we have attended over 50 outside events) and we are now seen as a worthy part of many local events and community activities and are planning to build on our current presence.
