FOR the final time in 2022, the Climate Action Group will be assembling with Sustainable Frome and Future Shed for a festive meet-up on Tuesday 6th December.
After a busy year where Frome’s community has admirably tackled the lofty challenges faced both locally and globally, the meeting in December will offer a chance to relax and celebrate all of the achievements of the past 12 months.
Town councillor Ben Still said, “We look forward to seeing all the amazing organisations and individuals who work on green projects in Frome at the meeting – whether you’re regularly out and about, or have only been to a meeting once, all are welcome. We will enjoy some food and drink together to connect and celebrate the year, and because it’s December, there will of course be a mince pie or three.”
2022 has seen the annual Potato Day and Seed Swap make a return, a second triumphant Great Big Green week packed with eco-friendly events, the creation of the Frome Textile Network, support for our wildlife neighbours thanks to the Wild Bunch, a successful Climate & Health Conference and much more. The list of the year’s achievements is certainly long. And to make sure 2023 can live up to this, there’s a chance to start informally discussing what comes next.
Cllr Still said, “The way Frome cares for the natural world is inspiring, with individuals and community groups taking on any issue, big or small, that threatens our planet and its inhabitants and always recognising that fixing it has a big impact. It’s only right that we take a moment to reflect and celebrate one another for this incredible hard work. That’s the Christmas spirit after all!”

![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.
