Purple Elephant runs services for families local to Frome who face disadvantage and challenges. We run support groups, 1:1 work, activities and events which help families to overcome their challenges and have fun! Our services include Small Steps parenting support, the Toy Library lending service (run in partnership with Frome Library) and stay and play sessions, a befriending service for children aged between 5 and 12 years, family support activities during school holidays, and Frome Children's Festival. We run some of our services in partnership with Fair Frome and support their services for families in crisis.

Our services are all either free or very low cost to attend and we welcome families with additional needs and disabilities. Some services are for referred families only, others are open to all, helping to support social integration. Our services benefit local families by giving them positive things to do, learning new skills and developing the bonds within the family, improving mental health and wellbeing, enabling access to free healthy meals, and developing a sense of fun.
