THE Good Heart would like to thank the many individuals and organisations in Frome who celebrated, practised and explored kindness with us in 2023, and whose support earned us the title ‘Community Group of the Year’ from BBC Radio Somerset.
At the beginning of the year, we welcomed Vicki Ross as our first venue manager. In addition to running our popular Tiny Hearts group for under-fives, Vicki has made the building come alive with activities, including 11 free warm spaces weekly and monthly sessions over the winter.
Susie Jenkins Temple and Jess Francombe also came onboard and organised a wonderful Frome Kindness Festival last March, publicised by the colourful designs of Melanie Dalton. We hope you’ll join us for another stimulating week of kindness-focused creativity, music, family fun and learning from 18th to 22nd March this year.
A big change in December was that our chef Namdi of Tibetan Memories decided to move on after over five years of providing momos and other home-cooked dishes at The Good Heart, including around 50 free pay-it-forward meals each month. We wish him well and look forward to welcoming Luna Plant-Based Kitchen as our new resident chefs for 2024.
