Frome is once again in the international news.

It is featured in the leading American paper, the New York Times, specifically on the work that has been done to combat loneliness.

She is interviewed for the piece.

The article also references the community fridge, ( we did not know they were former toilets) and the Talking Bench, a wooden seat where a paid health connector waits each Wednesday morning to talk to anyone who just wants to chat or is looking for advice.
