What a treat to enjoy a sneak peak and some glorious food at @The Key Bristol on Glos Rd Central this lunch time. Also great to catch up with some of the brilliant @Life Cycle crew. The Key Cafe will be open to the public from next Wednesday so do support this great new venture bridging the gap between prison and rehabilitation with a prisoner-run cafe. It is a lovely space to spend time in with fully accessible ramp and facilities. Everything I ate and drank was delicious! Full article to come in the June Bish Matters. ... See MoreSee Less
