Frome Community Lottery has awarded around £4,500 to six local organisations at an annual awards evening last month.
The beneficiaries this year were Frome Town Band, Frome Festival, Cultivating Community, Frome Memorial Theatre, Fair Frome and Frome Birth Talk. Representatives from each of these organisations received their cheques from chair Lorna Lewis.
One of the trustees, Richard Aspray, said, “We are proud to be able to support these fantastic local community groups, but we wouldn’t be able to do this without the contributions of our lottery players. The more players we have, the more local causes we can support.”
During the event, each organisation described their role in supporting the local community and talked about what they would be spending their money on.
Frome Community Trust raises money to fund capital projects which develop community facilities in Frome and the local area. Since its launch 25 years ago, the lottery has enabled the trust to give grants to over 80 groups and organisations in Frome and the surrounding area, totalling around £135,000.
Richard added, “Frome has a fantastic reputation for raising money to support good causes through help from the local community and with the cooperation of our local businesses.”
