Frome Community Lottery gave seven grants to local organisations at its annual grant presentation evening last week held at the Memorial Theatre.
This year’s grants, to help develop community facilities in Frome and the surrounding area, totalled over £6,000.
The organisations which benefited were the Memorial Theatre, the Frome Festival, Frome Children’s Festival, Frome Bowling Club, Open Storytellers, the Frome Area Leg Club and The Pod Youth Club.
Sue Worringham, chair of the Lottery said, “It would be great if we were able to give grants to even more local organisations. They all do such excellent work towards making Frome such a good place to live. This will only be possible if more local people join the Lottery, so please consider joining. You might even win some prizes!”
Grant funding comes entirely from the proceeds of the Frome Lottery. Participants spend £1 a week with the chance of winning cash prizes of up to £25,000. Of this 50% is available to support community groups in the Frome area. In the last year several people in Frome have won prizes, including three people receiving £1,000 each.
Joining forms are available from Frome library or on the Trust’s website www.fromecommunitytrust.btck.co.uk or by calling Sue Worringham on 01373 462431
