  • Free money coaching sessions to launch in Frome Free money coaching sessions are due to run this month offering support and advice for people managing their finances. The sessions, which are being run by Holy Trinity Church in partnership with Christians Against Poverty (CAP), will provide expert financial advice in the local community over three weeks from Monday 12th May at 5pm at The Bridge Café on Selwood Road. “With the soaring cost of living over the last few years, we’ve seen how important it is that people know how to successfully manage their money, whatever their income,” explained Gary Lee, who is organising the new course. “It’s vital that we know how to balance what we have, save for emergencies and stay out of debt. “Our money coaching course is here to equip people in Frome to do that. We’ll look at things like building and balancing a household budget, prioritising spending and keeping our finances stable into the future." Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
  • Frome man convicted of murdering woman A Frome man has been convicted of murdering a woman in Portway on the night she planned to end their relationship last year.

  • Frome’s history kept alive at town’s independent museum Behind the doors of 1 North Parade, Frome Museum is keeping the town’s history alive with fascinating exhibitions and events for all ages. Based in the town centre, the museum is independently run by enthusiastic volunteers who are keen to share Frome’s heritage. The museum’s origins lie in the 1956 Frome Historical Exhibition, which led to the formation of the Frome Society in 1958 — the forerunner to today’s museum. Today, the museum is the proud owner of the iconic Frome Literary and Scientific Institution building, which opened in 1869. Michael Maggs, who has been chair for the past 18 months, has a personal link to the museum, with one of the exhibitions featuring his grandfather’s pharmacy, formerly based at 20 Bath Street.

  • Musicians launch Frome’s own record label A new record label has launched in Frome to support musicians in the town and across the South West. IL Records has been founded by two local residents, Jonah Brody and Henry Gibbs, who bring professional music industry experience to the venture. The pair are passionate about helping local artists—particularly young musicians—release albums and take the next steps in their careers. “There are so many musicians in Frome and across the South West,” said Jonah, a professional musician and composer with 20 years’ touring experience, including performing with bands like Depeche Mode as a keyboard and bass player. “Frome has long been a magnet for artists, a town where creativity is a way of life. IL Records is here to keep that story moving and to make sure the music being made here finds the audience it deserves. “The main reason for launching the label was because when I was starting out, it was amazing when you found someone who would be like, ‘Wow that’s interesting’ let me give you a boost. When you are starting, you want to get signed by someone but that’s often further down the line or harder these days. I am trying to give back a little bit and give people a little encouragement to keep on doing what they are doing.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
