Want to look great & feel fantastic for the Spring and Summer? Join Kate’s early morning Bootcamp Sessions in Victoria Park, Frome & you too can:

• get fit • tone up • feel energised • wear your target trousers • exercise before the kids get up • exercise before the pressures of the day mount up • feel the fresh air • keep your evenings free

Sessions run twice a week on a fortnightly basis and start at the end of March. All fitness abilities welcome. For more information and to book a place on the free trial session contact Kate.

Kate Burles at Exercise Easy continues to grow her business…

Kate is setting up early morning bootcamp sessions in Victoria Park from the end of March. The sessions start at 6.30 am and run for 45 minutes so people can train before they have to get ready for work or take the kids to school. “It seems like the perfect time to exercise as it doesn’t interrupt the day or the evenings,” says Kate. “There is the added bonus that Victoria Park is so beautiful at that time of the day with the birds singing. It couldn’t be better.” Kate’s sessions work all parts of the body, using cardiovascular and resistance training and use both body weight and equipment. Kate says she tries to make them as fun as possible as, at that time in the morning, you need a good reason to get up to exercise. “If it means you can look good in your bikini or just feel energised & ready for work, it’s got to be worth the effort,” she added. Kate’s sessions are aimed at men and women at all levels of fitness. She guarantees you will leave the park feeling you have worked hard, but what’s more, see changes in energy levels, wellbeing, sleep and body shape if you follow a good healthy diet. Kate also takes one-to-one personal training sessions for people who would rather train on their own or in their own home and is also hoping to start her evening sessions in the park again soon, once she finds a suitable evening. So she says, “watch this space!”

  • Frome volunteers knit hearts for palliative care patients

Frome volunteers have knitted more than 100 hearts to support palliative care patients and their families.

The hearts were donated to the Royal United Hospital in Bath following an appeal, coordinated through the Co-operative Funeralcare – Frome, which called on local knitters to create hearts using a specific pattern.

The appeal came after a Frome resident introduced the team at the Co-op to the Compassion Memory Hearts scheme following her uncle’s death, when a heart had been left on his pillow.

The scheme sees volunteers knit pairs of small hearts. One heart is left on the patient’s pillow, while the other is given to their family as a keepsake, offering comfort and connection when they cannot be together.

  • Frome woman raises over £36,500 for cancer charity with running challenge

Frome fundraiser Rachel Clark has raised over £36,500 for a cancer counselling charity through a mile-a-day running challenge.

Rachel ran a mile a day in 2019, 2024 and 2025 running in all weathers and encouraging residents to join her and donate to We Hear You (WHY), a cancer counselling charity in Frome.

Rachel said, “Over the years approximately 10,205 epic people joined in with the challenge; the youngest was four years old, the oldest was 77, thousands interacted online, we ran through all the seasons, from heatwaves to blizzards.

“The ripple effect of 365 was magic. Some of you were inspired to take up running and many of you took up fundraising for WHY yourselves. Fundamentally we made a difference, in so many ways. This challenge was never about distance; it was always more than just a mile.”

  • Somerset Council faces ‘lingering death’ over £73m budget gap

By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby

Somerset Council is facing a ‘lingering death’ in the face of an estimated £73m budget gap, councillors and auditors have warned.

The council recently launched a consultation on its initial budget proposals, including just over £20m of new savings or increases in its existing fees and charges.

Clive Heaphy, the council’s interim chief financial officer, had previously admitted that the authority would require exceptional financial support from the government for a third consecutive year in order to balance its books without totally exhausting its reserves.

But members of the council’s audit committee have warned that the council may have left it too late to turn things around – making effective bankruptcy increasingly likely.

This comes after external auditors Grant Thornton warned that the council had to go faster to change the way it delivered services, issuing three statutory recommendations or ‘red cards’ against the authority.

  • Frome Wild Bunch Column – New Year in the garden

Now the festive season is behind us, we can start planning for the year ahead. 

The weather will be mixed but dry days give us a chance to do our bit now for wildlife – whether we have a pot outside the back door, our own garden or access to an allotment, green space or one of Frome’s community gardens. The first step is to resist the urge to tidy up.

That pile of ‘rubbish’ in the corner – dead grass stems, dried leaves, twigs and branches – will provide a wonderful habitat for a range of wildlife, from tiny spiders and beetles through to hibernating hedgehogs. Allowing even a small part of a garden to keep its winter debris will be a great help. Late winter is often the toughest time for birds, when many of the berries have been stripped. Feeding them (being mindful of cleanliness to minimise the risk of spreading disease) has the added bonus of bringing them close – a delight to watch in the dark days of winter.

  • Charity keeps Lisa Wells’ memory alive with successful fundraising year

A Frome charity has reported a successful year of fundraising in 2025 in memory of Lisa Wells, who died from bowel cancer in 2019.

Lisa’s Army helps cancer patients create lasting memories by providing days out, experiences and special treat boxes for those going through chemotherapy.

The charity was set up in 2020, after Lisa died from bowel cancer on 17th August 2019. She launched the charity before she died and, ever since, the team has been dedicated to fundraising, holding events and working hard to offer support, help and positive experiences to individuals facing a cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

“We have had a good year of fundraising and raised nearly £5,000,” said Lisa’s mum, Deanna Wells. “Fundraising can be hard and we do need more than that to keep going properly but we have a really dedicated committee. We have a few new ones join us. Lisa started this charity; we have got to keep it going.”

  • Pancake race to mark Valentine’s Day

Planning is underway for a family-friendly pancake race event in Frome Town Centre to jointly mark Pancake Day and Valentine’s Day 2026.

The ‘Stacks of Love’ pancake race will run on Saturday 14th February and will feature themed crafts and games for all ages and a crêpe stall. Ginny Adams of local theatre company Rare Species will act as compère for the day.

At ten-minute ‘waves’ throughout the event, six pancake race contestants will set off from the Blue Boar and race up to the Boyle Cross, flipping their (fabric) pancakes as they go, in heart-shaped frying pans. There will be themed waves for runners aiming for a pancake race personal best, children, grandparents and some ‘open’ categories. For those not keen on running, there will be static pancake-tossing competitions at the Boyle Cross.

  • Frome teen’s sponsored litter picks for Arctic trip

A teenager in Frome has been litter picking around the town to raise funds for an Arctic expedition in Finland this year.

Iris Errington-Deamer, aged 14, is due to embark on their first trip away without family on a week-long expedition to Finland with a group of 20 other home-educated young people aged 11 to 15.

To raise funds, Iris has been litter picking in the community and is asking residents to sponsor them in their efforts.

“I don’t want any animals to get injured by litter and it looks horrible,” said Iris. “I’m going to go out every week in Frome.

“I am feeling nervous about the trip but I’m excited to learn things I’ve always been interested in but not had the opportunity to do, like ice fishing, husky sledding and bushcraft survival skills like building snow shelters."

  • Somerset Council to spend nearly £2.2m by 2029 looking after trees

By Local Democracy Reporter Daniel Mumby

Somerset Council will spend nearly £2.2m over the next four years looking after the county’s trees including ongoing efforts to combat ash dieback.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Highways Act 1980, the council has a legal duty to ensure that trees within its care (e.g. those on public roads and in parks) do not “pose an unacceptable risk to the public”.

The council has now awarded a new four-year contract to carry out necessary maintenance and reactive work at an estimated cost of £675,000 a year – the equivalent of £2,190,000 over the lifetime of the contract.

The contract will include additional work to combat ash dieback, which is now “widespread” across the county and requires significant intervention to prevent the disease from spreading further.

Paul Sweetman, the council’s service manager for highway risk, said, “We are responsible for the management of a large and diverse tree stock across our land holdings, including along highways, in parks, schools, and on other public properties. "
