  • New hub combines DIY store and Share Shop Two community projects focused on saving money, reducing waste and sharing resources are coming together in Frome with the opening of a new DIY store and the return of the Share Shop. Both initiatives are being run by local non-profit organisation Edventure and will operate from The Welsh Mill on Park Hill Drive. The new DIY and building materials store, Fromebase, is now open, while Share Frome is preparing to reopen at the site after leaving its previous premises last year. Store manager Nicky Bragg said, “At a time when rising living costs are forcing many households to think differently about how they spend their money, Fromebase offers a practical solution for anyone looking to improve their home and help the planet without compromising on quality. “We want people to understand that surplus doesn’t mean poor quality. The store is full of useful, high-quality materials that deserve to be used. We want DIY to feel more affordable, less intimidating and more resourceful.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio Pictured: Nicky at Fromebase
  • Cat charity marks 10 years as care unit appeal launched A cat welfare charity in Frome that has helped more than 2,500 cats over the past decade is fundraising to build a new intensive care unit. Cats in Distress, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, now helps more than 400 cats a year and is currently caring for 57 cats, offering medical care, low-cost neutering and rehoming services for strays and cats whose owners can no longer care for them. Founder Ginny Parratt said there is a need to build a new intensive care unit at its base in Berkley to give rescued cats space to heal and recover away from the main site. She said, “We feel with more cats being admitted and with cat flu and possible parvovirus coming into the area, we want to have a unit that is in isolation away from the main rescue. “We’re currently looking after a cat called Ken. Although he is not infectious, he has got a nasty wound and it would be nice to put him away from the general hubbub. It would just be a nicer experience for him to help with the healing process.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio
  • Exhibition showcases historic Frome postcards An exhibition of historic Frome postcards is on display at the town hall, featuring images dating back to 1904. The exhibition has been launched by local resident Lockhart Murdoch, who has collected 80 postcards from Frome and surrounding areas. He said, “I have gathered a whole collection of postcards from flea markets, eBay and charity shops since moving to Frome eight years ago. Collecting postcards is one of my passions and I felt like sharing it with other people.” Lockhart, who is co-chair of Frome Festival, said the town has been popular with postcard photographers for more than 100 years. Postcards in the display date from 1904, 1910 and the 1970s. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Frome’s young musicians take over town centre Young musicians took to the streets in the town for the annual Frome Busks on Saturday 13th June. The pop-up music event saw musicians work their way around seven stages at Frome Library, Black Swan Arts, Stony Street, Cheap Street, Westway, the Cheese and Grain and Boyle Cross. Hosted by Frome College and Selwood Academy, the event is supported by Frome Town Council and raises funds for extracurricular music performances, equipment and productions for Frome College students. Acts included The Shrink, Paris Blue and Fluffy and the Jars, formed at Frome College and soloists including Sam, Christian, Syd, Dora, Lula, Miri, Joe, Annie and Alexa, performing in rotation across the stages between 11am and 2pm.

  • Frome’s Partner Towns Column: Discover Rabka-Zdrój Hello, I’m Philip Campagna, one of your town councillors. This column is the second in a series introducing Frome’s four partner towns, ahead of a planned trip to Murrhardt this summer. This time, we’re focusing on Rabka-Zdrój, in southern Poland. Frome’s friendship with Rabka-Zdrój began in 2003 and has continued to grow through visits, exchanges and community connections over the past two decades. You may have noticed that Frome has an area dedicated to Rabka in Victoria Park, near the bandstand and with benches to enjoy a beautiful flower bed. Rabka-Zdrój is located at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, around an hour south of Kraków. Like our neighbour Bath, it’s a ‘spa town’, a traditional place to relocate for rest and recuperation in the 19th century, especially for children, although references to the health-giving qualities of the area’s water date back to medieval times. It’s a beautiful place, surrounded by forests and rolling hills and a popular destination with walkers and cyclists, as well as winter sports enthusiasts.

  • Climate film draws large crowd to Cheese and Grain A short film about the climate emergency drew more than 320 people to the Cheese and Grain recently. ‘The People’s Emergency Briefing’ was shown on 21st May, with residents coming together to watch the screening as part of a wider programme of showings at venues across the country. Following the film, small groups formed to discuss what they had seen, how it made them feel and what they wanted to do together. The discussions were facilitated by 25 volunteers from the community. Event co-organiser Georgia Clark said, “We wanted to hold with care the wide range of emotional and psychological responses that the climate emergency provokes. The circulation of reactions and ideas in the post-film discussion felt energising and impactful, and a clear indicator that we need to create more space for conversations like these.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Frome Wild Bunch Column: Wildlife garden Hi, this is Jo from the Wild Bunch. Summer has truly arrived and while I often feel like I’m permanently behind with jobs in the garden, I stopped for a moment recently, to simply appreciate what I have created. Standing amongst the flowers, listening to the constant hum of bees and looking at my ‘Team Wilder This is a Wildlife Friendly Garden’ plaque from Somerset Wildlife Trust, I felt a real sense of pride and purpose. My garden certainly isn’t neat and tidy in the traditional sense. It’s wonderfully wild. Long grass sways in the breeze, colourful flowers spill into pathways, and every corner seems alive with insects. It feels like an extension of the wider landscape around us – natural and constantly changing, but also a small space of my own that I share with the wildlife around me. I just love it!

  • Musical fundraisers hold annual charity event A collective of musicians has raised funds for Fair Frome at an annual gig in Victoria Park. ‘Tribe Mini Fest’ saw an afternoon of live music and fundraising last month. Performers included Kit Morton, Paul Kirtley, Bee Owen, Lee Howard, the Up All Night Stars and headliners Cult of the Velvet Rattlesnake, delivering more than four hours of live music ranging from acoustic sets to swampy blues-rock grooves. The event raised nearly £200 in cash donations on the day, helping support Fair Frome’s ongoing work at the food bank, Food @ Five, Community Pantry and furniture bank.

  • Frome up and running in the Wiltshire Road Race League Frome Running Club kicked off their summer road racing campaign at the Corsham 10k with 17 runners pulling on the team’s iconic red shirt for the opening fixture. Frome’s combined results placed the team sixth in Division 1, with three runners completing the course in under 38-minutes. “I was really pleased to break the 37-minute mark and achieve a personal best for my 10k, especially as it was only a week after the Newport Marathon,” said Michael Gorman. “The league reminds me a lot of my team sport days, with everyone working together to score as many points as possible for the club. “There is also a ‘B’ league, which makes it accessible and competitive for runners of all abilities. That sense of inclusivity and shared purpose is what really drew me to the club. It has reignited my competitive spirit, while still being done in a very supportive and encouraging environment. The club’s Wednesday interval sessions have really helped me sharpen my speed.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
