A local family on Critchill Road has turned their home into a festive wonderland to support Fair Frome’s work tackling food poverty in the town. Throughout December, their Christmas lights display is helping to collect vital donations for Fair Frome’s food bank, which provides emergency food parcels to individuals and families who are struggling.
Visitors are invited to stop by, enjoy the lights and, if they are able, drop non-perishable food items into the collection box at the front of the house. The family then delivers all donated items directly to Fair Frome’s food bank on the Marston Trading Estate, where they are sorted and distributed to local people in crisis.
Demand for Fair Frome’s services continues to grow, especially during the winter months when many households face higher bills and increased financial pressure. Community-led efforts like this Christmas lights display play an important role in keeping the food bank shelves stocked and ensuring that no one in Frome has to go hungry over the festive period.
Fair Frome is encouraging residents to visit the Critchill Road display, donate if they can, and spread the word to friends and neighbours. Every tin, packet and jar makes a difference and helps Fair Frome continue to provide practical support, warmth and dignity for people across the BA11 area this Christmas.
