Lets Save SHARE Together - https://sharefrome.org/save-SHARE-together/

SHARE Frome has been given the devastating news that we will be losing our rent free premises. This news, combined with a 290% rise in running costs means that SHARE WILL CLOSE if we don’t urgently get support from local businesses, individuals and organisations.

Our volunteers and customers make SHARE Frome an amazing thing for us all to be part of. We realise that we are asking for big things to help us continue our borrowing and repair services but we believe in you, our community and the power you have to fight for what you care about.

We are part of an ever growing Library of Things network in the UK and across the globe. A Library of Things IS the way forward for the sake of peoples pockets, well being and the planet. We will do our very best to make sure we are still here for Frome after our eviction date of 2nd July but we now urgently need your support.

Please join SHARE and other members of the community at one of our town wide meetings to share ideas and pledge support. Frome Town Football Club – 22nd April (18:30), Frome Council Chambers – 26th April (18:00), Sustainable Frome Meeting @ the Good Heart – 2nd May (19:30)

The session, being held at SHARE’s premises at 3a The Bridge in the town centre, is the start of what organisers hope will be a regular event where local people can bring along broken household items to fix with help and advice from SHARE’s volunteer repairers.

From Library of Things faces closure if new home not found Frome charity might close despite community popularity.

It's World Autism Awareness Day and the start of World Autism Acceptance Week.

Autistic people face discrimination and barriers across all sectors of society – in the health and social care systems, in education, in employment, and everywhere in between. It is crucial that autistic people, and their families and carers, can access tailored information, guidance and support to overcome those barriers, along with opportunities to explore their interests, develop skills and build friendships for fulfilled lives.

What's needed...
.. better education for autistic young people.. shorter diagnosis waiting times.. more autism acceptance.. better job opportunities for autistic people

A HUGE THANK YOU

What a lovely review we have had back after one of our kind and skilled volunteers who went along and did a very worthwhile fix on an Ercol table. If you have an item that needs repairing, just complete our Customer Repair form and we will get in touch to make arrangements. https://sharefrome.org/customer-repairs/
