My colleague Maggie Telfer, who has died aged 63 after a short illness, was a fierce and relentless campaigner for health equality in Bristol and beyond.
In 1985, against the backdrop of a growing heroin crisis, Maggie helped to found Bristol Drugs Project (BDP), which opened its doors the following year. The charity grew under her leadership from a team of five to more than 80 employees today, with a group of dedicated volunteers and a vibrant trainee programme.
