Further free energy advice

WITH the potentially further energy price hikes this autumn, now is the perfect time to assess your energy usage in your home to see where action can be taken, and savings can be made. 

Frome Town Council’s Healthy Homes project has a host of easily accessible information at sessions throughout the summer to ensure your homes are cosy and more efficient when autumn approaches. 

The Healthy Homes project is a partnership with the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) and Frome Medical Practice as part of the National Lottery funded Green and Healthy Future Programme.  

CSE and the team are offering free and impartial energy advice to everyone who wants it through bookable telephone appointments from 9.30am – 2pm on the following dates: Wednesday 15th June, Tuesday 9th August, and Friday 26th August. 

You can book your free slot here: https://bit.ly/cse-advice 

The team will also be returning with their very popular drop-in cafes held at the Town Hall. The next one will be on Saturday 11th June from 10am – 12pm. No appointment is necessary, so why not pop in for a chat and a cuppa and discover some easy energy wins. 

Cllr Mark Dorrington said, “We hope as many people as possible will make the most of the free support available. It’s invaluable information to help you slash bills, clear or reduce energy debt, find suitable grant funding to make your home more energy efficient and reduce carbon emissions. At a time when our bills are rising, this information is essential.”

Find out more about all that is on offer and how you can ease the stress and worry around energy increases on Frome Town Council’s website: www.frometowncouncil.gov.uk/healthy-homes

  • Schoolchildren share artwork celebrating peace and unity

Artwork by pupils from a Frome primary school has been displayed at a community festival celebrating multiculturalism.

The work by children from St Louis Catholic Primary School was shown at the event at the Multicultural Festival at Cheese and Grain on Sunday 11th October, with pupils exploring themes of peace, hope and unity.

Assistant headteacher Jack Opie said, “From pompom doves made by Reception, to ‘splatter art’ inspired by impressionism in Year 5, the children produced work that reflected the ideas and thoughts which arose during discussion about multiculturalism, peace and hope and how we can celebrate and treat others with kindness.”
