A fabulous Frome initiative is desperately looking for funds, or free space, to continue its work.

Share began back in 2015.

SHARE Frome was a social initiative by Edventure Frome in association with Frome Town Council and The Cheese & Grain.

The first of its kind, the idea for SHARE Frome was born in early 2015, as a partnership between Frome Town Council, social enterprise Edventure, Sustainable Frome and the Cheese and Grain, the local music and events venue.

The motive behind the idea was to reduce the carbon footprint of the town, by enabling borrowing instead of buying new, reducing material production and landfill waste. This in turn would save members money and space in their homes, as well as providing a community space for people to donate, volunteer, connect and build skills.

The Share Library of Things just on the bridge in Frome needs the following to keep going:

1) A minimum of 800sqft space in Frome for free or as little rent as possible

2) A volunteer project manager to run the project to save SHARE Frome

3) 2 x volunteer trustees

OR

There is a LOT in Share. As you can see.
