  • Life-saving equipment to be installed in town centre A bleed control kit and defibrillator will be installed at the Nationwide branch in Frome. The equipment will be installed on an external wall of the Grade II listed building in Market Place as part of a national rollout by the building society. To help build public confidence in using the equipment, Nationwide is also working with St John Ambulance to roll out volunteer-led training in life-saving skills. This will be offered to employees before expanding into Heart of Community sessions, giving local people the knowledge and confidence to carry out CPR, use defibrillators and understand how to treat a severe bleed in an emergency. Amanda Beech, Nationwide’s director of retail services, said, “Nationwide’s unique reach as the UK’s largest branch network gives us the ability to put life-saving equipment where it matters most - in places people already know and trust in their communities. By transforming our branches into visible, emergency hubs, we’re making it easier to access help when every second counts." Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Strong showing from Frome at Sevens tournament Frome RFC enjoyed an excellent day at the annual Bath Combination Rugby Sevens Tournament at Avon RFC last month, topping their pool with three convincing victories before their cup run came to an end in a hard-fought quarter-final.

  • Local performer helps bring Spider-Man to life in blockbuster film A local man who specialises in bringing digital characters to life has helped create Spider-Man’s movements in action scenes for the big screen. Teifion Sussex is a motion capture performer and voice actor who specialises in bringing characters to life through movement, dialogue or a combination of both. His body movements and facial expressions were recorded by a London-based visual effects studio for selected scenes in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, helping create the digital superhero seen on screen. Teifion said, “It has felt like a dream from day one and honestly, it still feels like a dream now. The only evidence I have that it’s real is waking up each morning and finding that the memories are still there.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Residents call for action on energy costs and fossil fuels Frome residents are calling for action to reduce energy bills and improve energy security for local communities. Members of two groups, Frome Families For The Future and Sustainable Frome, gathered on 31st July to hold a protest calling for action. The action comes following recent extreme heat in the UK and the announcement of an Energy Independence Bill, which the residents are arguing provides an opportunity for the UK to embrace renewable energy and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. Vicki Chillcott said, “Families across Frome are struggling with their energy bills. We need energy independence so we can avoid these spikes. Renewables are cheaper and cleaner. The new extreme heat records in June showed the climate crisis is here and we can’t afford to make a bad situation even worse by failing to move away from fossil fuels fast enough. It’s time we embrace renewables with the determination this moment requires.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
