Frome Community Productions CIC
Art & Culture
We want to build a suitable accessible radio and recording studio that can be used safely by children and vulnerable and disabled adults.
About this cause
FromeFM is a Frome based non-profit community radio station run by Frome Community Productions CIC. Produced by over 100 members, it broadcasts new programmes every month online and on 96.6FM. FromeFM provides niche music programmes; Frome focussed debates and reportage; sustained support for and coverage of the work of community groups; and radio for children. We are looking for funding to complete our studio builds in the newly reopened Frome Town Hall as well as licensing fees for the year.
How this cause brings people in the community together
As a truly community radio station we engage with charities and other community groups on a weekly basis. We work particularly closely with the Talking Newspaper to produce weekly audible news for blind & partially sighted people completely free of charge. We promote local charities and we also work with schools and colleges giving children confidence and life skills.
