About this cause

"Fair Frome aims to prevent and relieve financial, educational, social and health poverty for people living in Frome and the surrounding areas. This will be achieved through the provision of direct services and through the support and development of other organisations in such a way that they are able to identify and meet these needs". Since October 2014 we have run Frome's Food Bank for local people in crisis situations who have been referred by local support agencies. Other projects aimed at catering for basic needs have included a kitchen utensils & laundry projects. We have also just set up a furniture project, supplying donated furniture & electrical items to people in need. We also have a community dining programme aimed at building social cohesion and reducing isolation.

How this cause brings people in the community together

As a charity championing social cohesion and addressing the effects of poverty, we find community dining to be one of the most valuable and effective ways of doing that. All of our events are free to attend. Typically, our events are picnics, hot lunches or afternoon teas. We target people who live in housing associations and people who are isolated.
