CSV and BBC Radio Bristol have won a Gold BBC Gillard Award for a series of programmes in which people in the community spoke openly about life in the area.
Huge congrats to CSV Producer Debra Hearne for her work on this and to the people of Paul’s Place for welcoming her so that their stories could be told.
