  • Frome producer tells stories of displaced Ukrainian families in Amazon Prime documentary Award-winning Frome producer Kayleigh-Paige Rees has released a new documentary on Amazon Prime, shining a light on the lives of displaced Ukrainian families and children. Narrated by Stephen Fry and produced in collaboration with her company, Raspberry Films, We Are Home offers a raw and human look at the people affected by war in Ukraine. “The film captures both the devastation and the resilience of those affected and living in Skole, a safer region in Ukraine,” said Kayleigh-Paige, who was named one of Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2022 and won Best Producer in 2023 for her documentary Keep Calm & Carry On, which followed families through the Covid lockdowns.

  • Resident launches Safe Space Frome to highlight gender inclusivity A local resident has launched an initiative called Safe Space Frome, highlighting businesses and groups in the town that are inclusive of gender diversity. Ted Prendergast, a trans man, launched the scheme – which has around 20 businesses on board – in response to a recent Supreme Court ruling that legally defines gender based on biological sex. The ruling has implications for who can access single-sex services and spaces – including changing rooms, toilets, women’s refuges, single-sex hospital wards and any spaces designated for one sex only. The scheme, which aims to highlight the spaces in Frome that have committed to making trans and other gender-diverse people feel welcome and accepted in their identity despite the court’s ruling, is detailed on the Safe Space Frome Instagram page.

  • Guiding volunteers needed to keep 100-year-old tradition alive Frome’s Guide packs are in urgent need of volunteers to ensure a 100-year-old tradition in the town continues for future generations.

Katie Geddes, a Frome resident and leader of the community running group Plod for Pastries, completed the marathon on Sunday 27th April.
