LOCAL counselling charity We Hear You will be joining a pop-up shop run by the Rotary Club of Frome in the Westway next week, and is asking for local people to donate to its fundraising.
We Hear You (WHY), formerly Positive Action on Cancer, will be joining the Rotary Club of Frome shop in the Westway precinct from Monday 12th September 2016 for one week.
WHY is asking for donations of good quality bric-a-brac, clothes, books, DVDs, CDs and baby/children goods. Why not have a good clear out and help to support local charity?
Fundraising assistant Helen Sprawson-White said, “As I’m sure everyone can imagine, we are currently experiencing an ever-growing demand for our service.
“We really value the opportunity the Rotary Club has given us in sub-letting the shop to us for this week and really appreciate the support our community gives us both in donating items and buying goods. The funds raised will make a huge difference in helping us reach those in need of our support in Frome.”
WHY offers free, professional counselling to any children or adults affected or bereaved by cancer and other life threatening illnesses in the area.
The charity receives no government funding and relies hugely on the generosity of the community.
To donate items to the pop-up shop, deliver them directly to the shop in the Westway (next door to the Co-op) at any time between 9.30am and 4.30pm from Monday to Saturday.

![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
