Home Our Impact
Here at Fair Frome all our work and projects centre around ensuring we make a real difference to real people in Frome. We work with the local community and people in Frome who need are help the most to ensure that our services and programmes reflect the current needs of the local community.
The last couple of years in Frome have seen our services expand and change with the rapid increase of need in Frome. From the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic to rising living costs and fuel poverty as a result of the cost of living crisis, the Frome community has been impacted by our socio-economic climate.
Reaching people in Frome who need our support the most whilst making sure our projects provide support for actual need wouldn’t be possible without feedback and support from our clients and users. Here are some stories of how our work has impacted the people of Frome.
I cannot thank you all enough for providing us with, and then arranging a repair for the washing machine… You have changed our lives for the better, and even that is a bit of an understatement

I would like to thank you for the food parcel and voucher received today from my children’s school. Being a single dad of poor health and 4 children this year has been especially hard. Keep up the great work

So nice to come and eat with other members of the community. I think it’s so important to share meals and to have the opportunity to talk to people you wouldn’t ordinarily get to meet. As a Mum, it’s nice to be catered for, the quality of food is top notch. Thank you.

I can share with you the effects your Tuesday meals have had on me. I have 2 main issues that I have chatted to you about. The first is access to any food at all & the second is access to good, tasty healthy food. I have been living in Frome, on the mint, for 15 months. This brings me to your hot meals, you & your food have had a great impact on me. I want to find the right words to say this but it is quite difficult. I can only say you are a caring, practised & excellent cook. I’m not a ‘food expert’ but your food is rekindling my appetite & not upsetting my stomach.

All our staff and students at Frome College want to thank Fair Frome for their care, compassion but also pragmatism during this difficult time. By providing shopping vouchers, our families will be able to choose the necessities they need for family life and to provide for children who would otherwise have received free school meals at college on a daily basis. Fair Frome is at the heart of our community helping the most vulnerable families through this crisis: thank you for everything you are doing for Frome.
