THE team at Frome Medical Practice has organised events as part of this year’s Frome Kindness Festival, which runs from Saturday 15th March to Saturday 22nd March.
Managing partner at Frome Medical Practice, Karen Creffield, said, “One of our aims is to be a ‘kind’ organisation, where we care for each other and the world around us in responsible and sustainable ways. So, we are always thrilled to be able to celebrate kindness during the festival week and invite local people to join in with our events.”
Here’s what the practice has planned during the Kindness Festival.
All week
InTouch Cafe, Frome Medical Centre
The practice will be encouraging visitors to the building to ‘Share Kindness’ during the festival week. Take an extra moment during your visit, pop into the InTouch Cafe and pick up a Kindness Postcard. Share a heartfelt message to someone special or show appreciation for Frome’s many local superheroes.
