Me and Leah met on an edventure short course called 'make' - we soon found that we share a lot in common - we are both creative women, passionate about community, supporting people, mental health and working towards making a tangible difference to our community.
We also have both had our fair share of health difficulties in recent years that have held us back from following these passions for a whole variety of reasons. We quickly realised that in edventure Frome we had found a place where we could be supported to make these things happen without our health getting in the way - the team there and the ethos they create within groups is a truly inclusive and supportive one - they are passionate in supporting people be involved in meaningful endeavour and change making.
It is an inspiring place.
When people talk about Frome, community, enterprise and a joining together of like minded people is something that is often diiscussed, it's full of community driven, grass-roots projects working hard to make a difference. A little bit of digging and you'll find that a number of these initiatives - including the Share Shop and Community Fridge have been set up by students at edventure.
Please check out and follow their facebook page and share the word about the work they are doing.
The current start-up began yesterday - inspired by the 'Shed' movement in general and the Frome men's shed in particular we aim to create a young-peoples 'Shed'. A place for young people to come together and have the space and time to follow their their individual creative passions and create a network of support to make their ideas happen - to work towards a career that is meaningful to them or to simply meet other young adults in a supportive and appealing environment.
So, we are reaching out to ask for your support - we are fundraising for our Start-Up - everything we raise will be used to set up this creative and supportive time and space - thank you for helping us make this happen!
