  • Frome Kindness Festival returns this week. The fourth annual Frome Kindness Festival returns this week with the theme ‘Kindness is a Superpower,’ from Saturday 15th March to Saturday 22nd March. MP Anna Sabine is due to launch the event, which is the UK’s longest-running Kindness Festival and was enjoyed by over 5,000 visitors last year. Organised by The Good Heart, the festival is set to be bigger and more varied than ever, with over 40 events taking place during the week, many free of charge. Family-friendly activities will include a Superhero Fun Run, a Super Eco-Craft and Toy Swap, an eco-friendly River Walk and pop-up events throughout the town designed to help residents celebrate their own local superheroes. Kindness Festival volunteers are also leading superhero-themed assemblies in 11 different schools. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Dedicated resident tackles rubbish near Frome bypass after ‘terrible’ build-up A local resident, who regularly litter-picks across the town, has tackled the build-up of rubbish at one of the entrances into Frome in her latest effort to help clean up the town. Tracey Eames, who has been litter-picking around Frome for eight years, went out with two friends armed with litter pickers to collect rubbish left on the side of the road near the Berkeley roundabout, close to the Frome bypass. “The laybys look terrible and are absolutely full of rubbish, and I think that reflects badly on Frome,” says Tracey. Among the rubbish they collected near the bypass were cans, paper waste, and around 20 bottles of urine. “We found the bottles that people have used and probably just flung out of the window to the side of the road,” Tracey said. “It does not give a very good impression of Frome at all. This is the gateway into Frome; it looks terrible, and what do people think?” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Frome Banking Hub opens offering vital services to residents A newbanking hub has opened in Frome Library, offering essential cash and banking services to residents after concerns about the loss of high street banks. Installed by Cash Access UK, the hub officially opened on Tuesday 11th March in response to community calls for improved banking access. Frome’s last remaining bank, TSB, is set to close on Thursday 27th March, following the closures of NatWest, Barclays, HSBC and Halifax in recent years. The temporary hub will operate from the library until a permanent location is found, with hopes that it will be secured by late autumn or early winter. Representatives from five major banks will be available on a rotating basis in a private office, offering advice and support without the need for an appointment.

  • Frome Lions cancel summer fete after 50 years due to town council vehicle policy Frome Lions Club has reluctantly taken the decision to cancel this year’s summer fete, an event that has been a staple of the town for over 50 years. The popular fete, which was due to take place on Saturday 14th June in Victoria Park, has been run by the Lions Club for five decades. Initially started as a way of thanking the people of Frome for their support shown to the Lions during the year, the event offered a day of entertainment for local families while also providing charities and organisations with a platform to raise funds and promote their work. However, the club says that restrictions on vehicles in the park—imposed by Frome Town Council—have made the event ‘untenable.’ The council says this is not a new policy and that vehicles have never been allowed in the park except under carefully managed arrangements. However, the Lions say this restriction was only communicated to them when they applied for this year’s event, and they believe it makes the fete unworkable.

  • Frome charities get funding boost from local pub’s quiz night Two Frome charities have received a £500 funding boost after residents helped raise money at a local pub’s charity quiz night. Frome Birth Talk and We Hear You received the funds that were raised throughout 2024 at the Bucks Quiz, a regular quiz night held at the Bell Inn, Buckland Dinham. On Saturday 25th January, the charities were presented with cheques by the pub’s team. “The Bucks Quiz collected over £1,000 for charity, with the overall winners, Cuddies Bahookies, choosing to split the donation between these two local organisations,” explained Jon Evans, organiser and host of the Bucks Quiz.

  • Wild about Frome: Only three weeks until spring! A column by Frome Wild Bunch Hello, this is Jo from the Wild Bunch. Finally, spring is just around the corner. The air smells different, spring bulbs are emerging, and birdsong is increasing, sounding more beautiful each day. With only three weeks until the Spring Equinox, it’s easy to get excited. But before you rush out with your rake and pruning shears, pause for a moment. While the temptation to tidy up after winter is strong, cutting back and raking too soon can do more harm than good for the creatures that rely on your garden for shelter and food. Fortunately, there are plenty of other ways to prepare your space to support wildlife as the warmer season unfolds. Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.
  • RUH charity launches a new distance at the Walk of Life 2025 The charity for the Royal United Hospital in Bath, RUHX, is launching a new distance at its annual Walk of Life fundraising event.

  • Nursery raises funds to boost Birth Talk’s free counselling service Children and staff from Rainbow Nursery have raised £350 for Frome Birth Talk to support their free counselling service. They raised the money through various activities, including a cake sale, a sponsored sleep, a sponsored tower build, and a staff baby photo competition. In the cake sale, children and parents made and donated cakes, while the babies and toddlers had a ‘sponsored sleep’, during which parents and carers guessed exactly how long they thought their child would sleep for during their sessions. For the older children, staff ran a sponsored tower build where parents and carers guessed how many bricks their child could build before their tower tumbled down. The money raised by the nursery will be used to help fund Frome Birth Talk’s free counselling service. Frome Birth Talk also runs three drop-in groups: Bump to Baby for new and expectant parents on Wednesdays (10am to 11.30am at Frome Community Hospital), Toddler Group for 0 to fives on Fridays (9.30am to 11.30am at Trinity Hall) and the area’s only Baby Loss Support Group on the first Wednesday of the month (7pm to 9pm at The Good Heart). If your organisation would like to host a fundraising activity, please contact Lucy at info@fromebirthtalk.org.uk Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.
