Frome’s Christmas Lights Switch On filled the town centre with lanterns, music and community spirit, and Fair Frome was there throughout the evening collecting donations for the Frome Christmas Get Together. Thanks to the incredible generosity of local residents and visitors, the collection on the night raised almost £900 in total, with every penny going towards providing a warm, welcoming space, a hot festive meal and company on Christmas Day for those who might otherwise go without.
Fair Frome volunteers were present all around the event, chatting with passers-by, explaining how the Christmas Get Together supports people who are isolated or struggling, and making it easy to donate. Together, donors and volunteers have made a real difference, helping to ensure that more people in Frome can share food, warmth and companionship this Christmas rather than spending the day alone.
Fair Frome extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated on the night, whether by dropping coins into collection buckets or giving larger gifts, and to every volunteer who gave their time and energy to support the appeal. This shared effort is a powerful reminder of what makes Frome special: a town that comes together so that everyone can feel included, valued and cared for during the festive season.
