About Green & Healthy Frome

Green and Healthy Frome is a partnership of Frome Medical Practice, Frome Town Council and Edventure Frome CIC. The project is funded by the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund. After a two year development phase (April 2021 to March 2023), the partnership achieved a three year full award (April 2023 to March 2026) to upscale the programme.
Thier mission is to engage the community to make changes which are good for the planet by highlighting climate, health and/or cost of living benefits. This is achieved by:
• Modelling and embedding sustainable practices into existing systems and structures, both at community and organisational levels
• Leveraging community engagement and network building by working with community groups, individuals, and other organisations
• Providing free resources to individuals, families and households, enabling them to make choices which are good for health and planet
• Using storytelling and evaluation to promote behaviour and culture change within and beyond Frome and share our learning
As the end of the project approaches, a great deal of inspiration and learning can be shared - both what went well and what could be done differently.

NB: The Local Climate Engagement Programme reserves the right to change the event programme at any time.
