Community Call to Action: Support Fair Frome’s Food Bank During the Cost of Living Crisis
The recent increase in energy bills across England, Scotland, and Wales—up by £111 to an annual average of £1,849—has left many families in Frome and Somerset feeling the pressure.
Local charity Fair Frome is urgently appealing for community support as more residents may need to turn to the Fair Frome Food Bank in the wake of these rising costs, a period the national media is calling “Awful April.”
“People’s bills have gone up, but Universal Credit and other benefits remain the same. We’re asking the Frome community to donate what they can so we can continue supporting families in need,” says Lenka Grimes, Senior Coordinator of Fair Frome.
How You Can Help:
Donate non-perishable food and essential items at convenient drop-off points: Sainsbury’s, Asda, Lidl, Tesco Express, Co-op Fromefield, Co-op Badcox, Howden Insurance on Catherine Street, Coventry Building Society, Frome Wholefoods, Cheese and Grain, and now PureGym in Wessex Fields.
