Friends of Pakati Podcast host Brad’s big day!

Hi everyone!

Just over a week ago, my friend, prospective Trustee for Friends of Pakati & our very own podcast host, Bradley Mell, got married!

All of us connected to Friends of Pakati send our huge CONGRATULATION’S to Brad & his new bride, April.

Photography is by Andrew Wheeler.

April’s dress was made by herself.

I have just received the following links:

The ceremony & reception were both held at Elsham Hall, just a few miles outside of Scunthorpe.

I felt honoured to be invited to the reception in the evening, & was able to talk to both bride & groom & number of the other guests, some of whom I already knew thanks to Brad & my support for Scunthorpe United FC.

Just as a reminder, here is the recent post about our Trustees including Bradley: https://friendsofpakati.com/2025/06/15/meet-our-trustees/

Coming soon:

• Sharlom Chaitika’s charity Created4Purpose

• Pakati Secondary school – term ends until September

• Pakati Primary school – holiday lessons

• Further updates on our own charity status & funds
