Frome Junior Netball Club is teaming up with local counselling charity We Hear You (WHY) to host a charity netball tournament and family fun day this Sunday 24th June from 10pm to 4pm at Oakfield Academy School in Frome.
Andrea McCall, the club secretary says, “We are busily preparing for our first ever Junior Charity Netball Tournament and Fun Day. We have 13 teams taking part from Somerset and Wiltshire, with girls aged between 9-16 year olds.
“The day will be a fun-packed family day of watching netball whilst also enjoying a host of fun activities. There will be a grand raffle drawn at 3pm, with the top prize being a day pass for 4 to Center Parcs, plus many more fantastic prizes donated by local companies. Raffle tickets are being sold on the day at £1 per ticket.”
In addition to the netball tournament and raffle, there will be a bouncy castle, face painting, barbecue, refreshments, cake stall, ice creams, jumble sale and more. All proceeds from this event will go directly towards WHY’s free counselling service for anyone affected or bereaved by cancer or a life-threatening condition.
Helen White, fundraising officer at WHY said, “This should be a great event for the whole family to enjoy – many thanks to Andrea and the netball club for choosing to support WHY.
“We Hear You are running a jumble sale stall at the event so we’re asking for your jumble to sell.

![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.
