Frome's top fundraiser and local police sergeant Rachel Clark has paid her own tribute to the work of the NHS.

Using a sports tracker and most of the field next to Frome's hospital Rachel 'stepped' out the letters.

She said: "It was my walk before work near Frome hospital. Thank you to our amazing NHS, for everything you're fighting with and for.. and thank you to the vast majority of people complying with the social distancing rules and measures in our local community."

Rachel admitted: " The S was pretty tricky but it's legible."

Meantime as regards policing in the town, the team has made some arrests for breach of the peace.

Rachel told Nub News : " We are trying to police by consent and the vast majority understand and are doing their utmost to comply. The community are playing their part and are reporting incidents to us, and we're rolling our sleeves up and getting on with our job."

Rachel asked that if Fromies see the community team out and about on bikes or on foot give them a wave from afar. The policing team is really grateful for all the local support.

Outside of that day job, Rachel is still planning her amazing fundraising.

Rachel made £18,000, running a mile a day every day last year for the local counselling charity, We Hear You, enough for more than 400 counselling sessions.

She has postponed the world record skittles challenge, due to coronavirus until September 6th. It will be held at the Frome independent market and anyone aged 10 or over can take part.
