Let’s build a green and healthy future for Frome!
Share your ideas – we can help them grow
The Edventure Frome team is delighted to be kicking-off a new partnership with Frome Medical Practice and Frome Town Council. We are working together to build a greener, healthier future for Frome by asking “What can we do locally to improve our wellbeing, whilst also improving the health of the planet?” Here are three things you can do to get involved:
1. Share an idea or two on our online ideas platform
2. Register for the launch event on April 29th at 12.45pm
3. Ask for support to get an idea you want to get off the ground – message greenhealth@edventurefrome.org
Projects that create benefits for both climate and health come in many shapes and sizes. Getting on bikes rather than in cars both reduces our carbon footprint and is good for our health; growing veg can be good for mental health and is greener than buying produce from supermarkets; car sharing can help people make closer friendships and save on petrol; time spent active in nature can reduce our need for more medication.
Online vision board
Do you have an idea for a project that would be good for both health and the planet?
This vision board is a platform for your ideas and priorities, and what we collectively want to see happen in Frome. With our funding from the Community Fund, we have the chance to explore how we can develop the most popular ideas further, and invite local people to get involved. The ideas also help us plan our programme of activities and events.
If you have an idea that you are committed to make happen yourself, have a look below at the project support that we can provide. Visit our online vision board to have a look and add your idea or email it to greenhealth@edventurefrome.org and we’ll add it for you.
Launch event
Do you want to find out more?
We look forward to welcoming you to our first public online meeting on April 29th at 12.45 – please join us if you can. Find out about free electric bikes that are coming to town soon or help to make your home warmer and healthier. We’ll also share more about how to sign up for free training provided by Health Connections Mendip for anyone interested in being part of a green and healthy future for the community of Frome.

Project Support
Do you want to bring an idea to life and need support?
We can provide start-up mentoring, training, coaching, meeting rooms or help making local connections – free for anyone who is working on an activity, project or business with the potential to both improve people’s health and address climate change.
