A community event at Badgers Hill is inviting residents to come together and discuss how people can work together, open up possibilities and solve challenges to facilitate creativity and community in Frome.
The event is being delivered by Frome Town Council and Terrestrial, a company which commissions and produces arts projects. It is due to run on Wednesday 25th June from 9.30am to 1.30pm. Free tickets for the event includes lunch by Sonny’s Kitchen.
Terrestrial’s Tom Spencer said, “Every day in Frome, scores of creative people make great things happen. Independent artists and makers are busy painting, writing, sculpting, dancing and designing. Community groups are gathering to share food, dig gardens, teach sports and support young people.
“But it’s hard to do all of this. Costs rise, volunteers are stretched, it can be difficult for people to earn a good living and opportunities aren’t the same everywhere, so not everyone gets a chance to be part of Frome’s magic. In fact, according to Frome Town Council’s survey last year, more than 60% of people in the town don’t feel connected to their neighbourhood.
“This event is for everyone who cares about making things happen in Frome and you don’t need to have been involved in anything before.
“We’ll be using ‘Open Space’ to guide this event, which is a way of hosting large meetings so that everyone gets a chance to talk about the issues that are important to them and nobody gets stuck in conversations they find boring.
“No experience is necessary, we’ll explain how it works on the day, and there’s no pressure to speak unless you want to. We’ll have a team of friendly helpers from Terrestrial and Frome Town Council for anyone who’d like support, to catch you up if you arrive later, or for any questions throughout the morning.
