WHETHER you’re looking for a tasty way to fundraise for Dorothy House, or you just simply love a slice of cake, hosting a Dorothy House Coffee Morning might just be the perfect opportunity. 

Your fundraising event will help support the charity’s mission to ensure everyone has access to outstanding palliative and end of life care.

A spokesperson for Dorothy House said, “Holding a coffee morning is a fun and rewarding way to help raise vital funds for the Hospice, supporting us as we continue to deliver our work in our local community.

“On 1st May we celebrated our 47th birthday and we’d love you to celebrate with us by getting together with colleagues, friends and family and hosting your own Dorothy House Coffee Morning.

“You can hold a coffee morning (or other social event!) at home, in your workplace or even at school. Just head to our website and register for your free coffee morning event pack.

“In the pack, we’ve included everything you need – well, except the coffee! So, pop the kettle on, stick the cakes in the oven and get those biccies out!

“Did you know, £203 could fund a compassionate, skilled and experienced hospice at home carer to provide care overnight, enabling a patient to stay at home at the end of their life. And £500 could fund an expert counsellor to run seven support group sessions for young adults with a life-limiting illness, helping them to feel less alone.

“We can’t do this without your help! So now is the time to come together with friends, family and colleagues to host your very own Dorothy House Coffee Morning. Don’t forget to share your delicious snaps with us on social media by using the hashtag #DorothyHouseCoffeeMorning.”

  • Frome connections drive new Grand Tour series.

Frome has a starring connection to the new series of The Grand Tour, with new presenter Francis Bourgeois joined on screen in the opening episode by former Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button, who is also from the town.

Francis, who still lives locally, presents the new series on Amazon Prime alongside YouTubers James Engelsman and Thomas Holland.

Originally hosted by Top Gear trio Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, the series sees Francis and his co-presenters travel across the world taking on large-scale motoring challenges, from crossing the Angolan desert in track cars to exploring Malaysia’s vibrant car culture, before heading to California to test cutting-edge performance cars. 

The opening episode, titled The Next Generation, features Francis and Jenson revealing that they share the same hometown, before the former F1 driver puts a selection of sports cars to the test to see which can set the fastest lap.

  • Help shape future travel and transport in Frome

The community is invited to help shape a new plan that will influence future transport and connectivity priorities across the area. 

The Frome Area Movement and Place Plan, being developed by Frome Town Council in partnership with Somerset Council and neighbouring parishes, will explore how people travel around Frome and the wider area and how access to jobs, education, healthcare, shops, services and leisure opportunities can be improved. 

The plan will consider a range of topics, including walking, cycling, public transport, road safety, accessibility, parking and links between nearby villages and towns. 

Frome Town Council is keen to hear from a wide range of people, whether you regularly walk into town, commute by car, catch the bus, cycle to work or rely on mobility aids to get around. Local businesses and employers are also encouraged to take part, helping to highlight any challenges such as staff travel, customer access, deliveries and connections across the local area.

  • Local footpath enhanced by quarry company

A long-distance footpath connecting to Frome has been enhanced through a donation from a local quarry.

The East Mendip Way runs from the Bishop’s Palace in Wells through the northern edge of Shepton Mallet (intersecting with the Windsor Hill Greenway), all the way to Frome town centre.

A crucial spur from the route, which runs along the Egford Brook in the Vallis Vale west of Frome, was recently closed off to the public to allow repairs to be undertaken.

This path has now reopened after being resurfaced by Heidelberg Materials, using materials from its nearby Whatley Quarry – with additional enhancements being made to increase biodiversity and improve the experience for dog-walkers.

  • Frome-made gin goes on sale at Givino

A local wine shop in Frome has begun distilling its own gin.

Givino, based on Commerce Park, has launched its own range of small-batch gins, starting with Rhubarb and Ginger.

Run by Robbie and Jamie Lymer, Givino will specialise on producing small batches of around 8-10 bottles each month using seasonal ingredients.

“We have spent a long time focusing on the wine side of the business, but as we are Givino (gin and vino) we thought it was about time that we focused on the gin now!” said Robbie.

“It’s great that we have such a strong local customer base and the feedback has been amazing with our first batch selling out in five days!

“Every month will be a different recipe to reflect the seasonal botanicals.  We will be using locally grown produce as much as we can; for example the rhubarb came from my parents’ garden and next month we will be making an apple and blackberry gin, so we will be off blackberry picking soon!”
