  • Calling all book lovers in Frome: Join the Home Library Service as a volunteer! Do you have a passion for books and a heart for helping others? If so, the Home Library Service in Frome is looking for dedicated volunteers to bring the joy of reading to those who can’t visit the library in person. The service provides books and audiobooks to people who find it difficult to get to the library due to age, illness, disability, or caring responsibilities. Volunteers help combat loneliness and isolation by delivering library materials (including the loan of iPads) and spending time chatting with customers about their reading preferences. As a Home Library Service volunteer, you’ll visit the library to select books and add them to the customer’s account; deliver books to customers’ homes and collect returns; chat with customers to build relationships and reduce loneliness; and signpost customers to other helpful services if needed.

  • Somerset Council to spend £3m on review of staff pay and rewards By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby Somerset Council will spend £3m over the next two years carrying out a full review of pay levels and rewards for its staff. The council is currently going through an extensive transformation programme – with around £33m being saved in the first phase, which concluded in April with the loss of around 300 staff. Councillors voted in September to appoint Newton Consulting Ltd. to take forward the next phase of the programme, dubbed ‘Inspiring Innovation’, spending up to £20m over the next few years (with an initial spend of £1.5m). In parallel to this, the council has agreed to spend up to £3m on a review of its pay structure, in order to ensure it can recruit and retain staff and thereby reduce its agency spending.

  • A hopeful vision of a future Frome Residents were invited to envision a ‘Frome of the near future’ recently, when environmental campaigner, writer and activist Rob Hopkins launched his new book in town. The launch of his book ‘How to Fall in Love with the Future: A Time Traveller’s Guide to Changing the World’, involved a daytime workshop followed by an evening ‘in conversation’ with Rob at the Cheese and Grain, organised by Frome Town Council. Participants were encouraged to envision a Frome of the near future, with a focus on possibility, imagination and optimism, making a choice to say ‘yes, and’ instead of ‘yes, but’, even in the face of the enormous challenge of climate change. The approach is detailed in his latest book. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio Pictured: Fayon Dixon, Rob Hopkins and Cllr Fiona Barrows. The Rob Hopkins book launch.

  • The Unravelling Wilburys ride into town this month Following an extensive summer tour that drew sell-out audiences all the way to Aberdeen and back, local band, the Unravelling Wilburys, will be returning to the Memorial Theatre this month. The Unravelling Wilburys claim the debatable backstory of being five Nashville-born brothers who had their act stolen by the 80s supergroup, The Traveling Wilburys. Having taken back their act, they now include many songs from each of the Traveling Wilburys back catalogue. Expect the best of Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan. Thinly disguised as Walter and Willie Wilbury are two familiar Frome names, John Freeman and Martin Dimery, who met when teachers at Frome College. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio Tickets are available from the Memorial Theatre box office for the show on Saturday 22nd Pictured: L to R Martin Dimery, John Freeman and Mitch Keen
