Edventure: Frome
A School for Community Enterprise
Welcome to Edventure. We run courses, events and programmes in community entrepreneurship. Here, people come together to start things up; to gain transferable skills & experience; to build connections; to get support to realise their ideas; and to gain the sense and confidence that it is possible to create a kinder, fairer, greener world. What we care about is contributing to a strong community, growing meaningful livelihoods and building ventures as part of a sustainable, zero carbon economy that works for all.
Our Courses
Learning through experience. Gaining transferable skills. Making a real difference.
