In Frome, a quiet revolution is underway. Whilst the funding for Green and Healthy Frome has come to a close, the movement it sparked - to care for both our health and our planet - continues to grow.

Over the last six years, the project inspired lasting change through our Health, Planet and Pocket channels, encouraging practical action: lowering household bills, strengthening the community, and easing pressure on the NHS.

The partnerships formed, habits shifted, and relationships built are now deeply rooted in the life of this town. They don't need a project name to continue.

This is what community-led change looks like - and everything we've learned is yours to take. Explore our Learning Insights, Evaluation Report, and free resources, and discover how caring for the planet, improving wellbeing, and saving money are one and the same. Take our learning. Build on it. Pass it on.

Our Story

What if caring for the planet could also improve your health and save us money?

Our Projects

Imagine a future where our community thrives alongside a flourishing environment - this was our vision. From home insulation to cycling more, the range was diverse benefited both people and the planet. Our work showed that sustainability and wellbeing are two sides of the same coin - saving individuals and the NHS money, and proving that small, everyday actions can create lasting change.

We inspired people to embrace sustainable habits - active travel, energy efficiency, supporting local food, reducing waste, and green prescribing - through free resources, training, events, and guidance.  Believing that a healthier planet nurtures healthier people, our aim was to make better health and sustainability effortless parts of daily life.
