  • New hub combines DIY store and Share Shop Two community projects focused on saving money, reducing waste and sharing resources are coming together in Frome with the opening of a new DIY store and the return of the Share Shop. Both initiatives are being run by local non-profit organisation Edventure and will operate from The Welsh Mill on Park Hill Drive. The new DIY and building materials store, Fromebase, is now open, while Share Frome is preparing to reopen at the site after leaving its previous premises last year. Store manager Nicky Bragg said, “At a time when rising living costs are forcing many households to think differently about how they spend their money, Fromebase offers a practical solution for anyone looking to improve their home and help the planet without compromising on quality. “We want people to understand that surplus doesn’t mean poor quality. The store is full of useful, high-quality materials that deserve to be used. We want DIY to feel more affordable, less intimidating and more resourceful.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio Pictured: Nicky at Fromebase
  • Cat charity marks 10 years as care unit appeal launched A cat welfare charity in Frome that has helped more than 2,500 cats over the past decade is fundraising to build a new intensive care unit. Cats in Distress, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, now helps more than 400 cats a year and is currently caring for 57 cats, offering medical care, low-cost neutering and rehoming services for strays and cats whose owners can no longer care for them. Founder Ginny Parratt said there is a need to build a new intensive care unit at its base in Berkley to give rescued cats space to heal and recover away from the main site. She said, “We feel with more cats being admitted and with cat flu and possible parvovirus coming into the area, we want to have a unit that is in isolation away from the main rescue. “We’re currently looking after a cat called Ken. Although he is not infectious, he has got a nasty wound and it would be nice to put him away from the general hubbub. It would just be a nicer experience for him to help with the healing process.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio
  • Exhibition showcases historic Frome postcards An exhibition of historic Frome postcards is on display at the town hall, featuring images dating back to 1904. The exhibition has been launched by local resident Lockhart Murdoch, who has collected 80 postcards from Frome and surrounding areas. He said, “I have gathered a whole collection of postcards from flea markets, eBay and charity shops since moving to Frome eight years ago. Collecting postcards is one of my passions and I felt like sharing it with other people.” Lockhart, who is co-chair of Frome Festival, said the town has been popular with postcard photographers for more than 100 years. Postcards in the display date from 1904, 1910 and the 1970s. Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • Frome’s Partner Towns Column: Discover Rabka-Zdrój Hello, I’m Philip Campagna, one of your town councillors. This column is the second in a series introducing Frome’s four partner towns, ahead of a planned trip to Murrhardt this summer. This time, we’re focusing on Rabka-Zdrój, in southern Poland. Frome’s friendship with Rabka-Zdrój began in 2003 and has continued to grow through visits, exchanges and community connections over the past two decades. You may have noticed that Frome has an area dedicated to Rabka in Victoria Park, near the bandstand and with benches to enjoy a beautiful flower bed. Rabka-Zdrój is located at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains, around an hour south of Kraków. Like our neighbour Bath, it’s a ‘spa town’, a traditional place to relocate for rest and recuperation in the 19th century, especially for children, although references to the health-giving qualities of the area’s water date back to medieval times. It’s a beautiful place, surrounded by forests and rolling hills and a popular destination with walkers and cyclists, as well as winter sports enthusiasts.
