Bristol’s Noods Radio launch Crowdfunder to buy current premises

Bristol’s Noods Radio has launched a crowdfunder to raise the money needed to buy its current venue, community bar and event space Mickey Zoggs.

Taking to Instagram this week, the online radio station revealed that the owner of the building that houses the venue plans to sell it when the lease ends later this year. “Help us save our space from development,” Noods wrote in a social media post. “We were told we had to buy the pub or move on. So we’re asking for your support to help us raise the deposit money so we can buy the building.”

The post continued: “By purchasing the building, we can ensure that Mickey Zoggs continues to serve the community and that Noods Radio has a safe home to continue broadcasting. Without Zoggs, the station might cease to exist.”

The Crowdfunder campaign has a target of £70,000, of which almost £12,000 has been raised so far at the time of writing. A number of rewards are available for those who donate certain amounts of money to the fundraiser. Find more details here.
