  • Lions visit air ambulance base following successful fundraiser

Frome Lions were recently invited to visit the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance base, following their successful Charity Sporting Dinner which raised £26,000 for the charity. 

During their visit, the Lions saw the helicopter and the vital equipment the air ambulance carries. There was also an emergency call for help and the Lions saw at close range the helicopter taking off on its mission.

“Shortly afterwards, it was stood down and returned to base,” said Lion, Mike Geake. “Earlier during the visit, the pilot had said that the policy was always for the air ambulance to launch as soon as possible after getting a call and, if circumstances changed, they would abort the flight.”

Summer vibes are on the menu at Canteen, Frome’s pay-what-you-can community restaurant, as two more events are confirmed including one with an alfresco twist.

After four very well-attended Canteen events at Trinity Hall over the winter, where diners tucked into hearty stews, pies and puddings, Canteen’s chefs are designing a brand-new summer menu offering seasonal ultra-fresh salads and locally sourced meats and vegetables.

The next Canteen is confirmed for Friday 20th June and will take place as usual in Trinity Hall in Frome, and the following event on Friday 15th August, will be outdoors.

  • Leisure centre commits to making changes following meeting with MP

Frome Leisure Centre has said it is taking steps to address issues raised by residents about the cleanliness and reliability of the facilities.

Residents have been complaining about the centre for several months citing a lack of heating, issues with shower and gym equipment, poor hygiene, inadequate lighting on the sports pitches and the recent closure of the swimming pool due to a broken boiler.

Somerset Council leases the building, located on Princess Anne Road, to Fusion Leisure, a national lifestyle organisation.

Following growing frustration among the community, MP Anna Sabine recently organised a meeting between Somerset councillor for Frome Adam Boyden, Somerset Council and senior managers from Fusion who have committed to making changes.

  • Successful sustainability events continue this summer

Frome-based businesses and landlords who would like to explore the benefits of solar energy are invited to a free event at the town hall on Tuesday 17th June from 9am to 10.30am.

There will be opportunities to hear from solar installers and local businesses, explore funding options and discover how to turn your rooftop into a revenue-generating asset.

The event, organised by Frome Town Council, is part of the council’s Solar and Beyond project and follows on from two recent successful and well-attended events on a sustainability theme.

On 13th May, the first workshop for Frome’s Act to Adapt project, co-hosted with Somerset Wildlife Trust, saw around 120 people gather at the Cheese and Grain.

  • Information evening to highlight support for teenage boys in Frome

A mentoring programme for teenage boys in Frome is inviting residents to an information evening to learn more about its work and how it supports young people to grow into healthy young men.

Journeyman Frome, part of the national organisation JourneymanUK, will be hosting the free event at the Cheese and Grain on Thursday 19th June, from 7pm to 9pm.

For 15 years, JourneymanUK has been mentoring teenage boys on their journey to adulthood, and in 2021 helped a group of dedicated local men set up a new space for boys aged 13 to 18 in Frome.

Parents have spoken about the benefits of the programme. One mother said, “I’m so happy that my son is part of the Journeyman community in Frome – a mentoring resource so badly needed.

“He has benefited greatly from sharing things that matter to him in an authentic and safe way, and developing multi-age, male friendships that are not only based around banter or competition.”

The Cheese and Grain recently played host to five-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Bradley Wiggins for an unforgettable evening of insight, inspiration and cycling stories.

The event, on Thursday 29th May, gave attendees the chance to meet the Olympic legend in person before watching a live on-stage interview with presenter Jon Monie.

During the interview, Sir Bradley shared personal reflections on his road to success, including the highs and lows of life before and after becoming one of the most decorated Olympians in British history.

“A live memorabilia auction took place, with one of the items fetching £2,000!” said organisers. “The famed ‘101 Book’ – The Bradley Wiggins Opus – a leather-bound, official record of his historic 2012 Tour de France win, was among the highlights.”
