Radek originally set out in February last year to run 12 half marathons in 12 months, but after completing his 13th half marathon at Frome’s Running Festival last August, he decided to extend his challenge.

  • Resident launches Safe Space Frome to highlight gender inclusivity A local resident has launched an initiative called Safe Space Frome, highlighting businesses and groups in the town that are inclusive of gender diversity. Ted Prendergast, a trans man, launched the scheme – which has around 20 businesses on board – in response to a recent Supreme Court ruling that legally defines gender based on biological sex. The ruling has implications for who can access single-sex services and spaces – including changing rooms, toilets, women’s refuges, single-sex hospital wards and any spaces designated for one sex only. The scheme, which aims to highlight the spaces in Frome that have committed to making trans and other gender-diverse people feel welcome and accepted in their identity despite the court’s ruling, is detailed on the Safe Space Frome Instagram page.

  • Guiding volunteers needed to keep 100-year-old tradition alive Frome’s Guide packs are in urgent need of volunteers to ensure a 100-year-old tradition in the town continues for future generations. Girlguiding has been a part of Frome for nearly a century. The 3rd Frome Guides celebrate their 100th anniversary this year, and 4th Frome Guides will reach the milestone next year. Rainbows, the youngest section of Girlguiding, was introduced nationally in 1987. Volunteers are vital to keeping the groups running, helping with activities such as crafts, games, fundraising events and trips for local girls. “Volunteers are required to attend a unit meeting, which could be every week or on a rota during school terms,” explained volunteer Kirstie Jones.

  • Local runner overcomes knee condition in London Marathon challenge A local runner who conquered the London Marathon has described the experience as her ‘victory lap’ — eight years after being diagnosed with a painful knee condition. Katie Geddes, a Frome resident and leader of the community running group Plod for Pastries, completed the marathon on Sunday 27th April. Her achievement came eight years after being diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter disease — a condition that causes pain and swelling below the kneecap. Katie took on the challenge to raise funds for the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA), a charity that supported her following two successful knee surgeries. The BOA conducts research into musculoskeletal disorders to improve orthopaedic treatment, restore mobility and help people regain their independence.

  • Local women save and relaunch home-education project Two women have stepped in to save and rejuvenate a home education project after parents were sent a notice that it was closing with ‘immediate effect’. Frome residents Jessie and Hannah rescued the Phoenix Project, which has been running for six years at Critchill Manor Estate, offering a self-directed learning space for home-educated children aged 7 to 14. The project had previously been run by dedicated parent volunteers. However, just before Easter, they issued a notice to families announcing its closure due to difficulties covering rent and continuing to run the space.
