Active and In Touch have unfortunately had to suspend our group activities, but we DO continue to help people who are isolated and lonely in Frome and the surrounding villages, through befriending, phone calls and other support where required. 
We are at the moment in talks with Frome Town Council, Health Connectors and other charities to support all those in need.
At this critical time we are looking for volunteers who already have a DBS, to support us with needed phone calls to our elderly members who are having to self isolate, this can be on a short term or long term basis.
​If you have elderly relatives who live in Frome or the surrounding villages and you are concerned about them through this time, (as you aren't local yourself) then please do contact us, and we will do our best to help.
For more information please email : enquiries@activeandintouch.org

**********************************************
Active and In Touch can't thank their sponsors and supporters enough for their continuing support with fundraising into 2020. 
With costs of transport, admin, venue charges etc, we are always in need of extra help in fundraising to meet those financial needs.
If you are a local business or individual that are looking for a charity to support, then look no further!! We have helped over 400 people in Frome to date, from when we started in 2011. Currently we are helping  150 members and are getting new referrals every week.  We have 65 volunteers and need more, but we also need volunteers who are good at fundraising! So please email: enquiries@activeandintouch.org if you can help and would like to hear more about how you can help us fundraise

I cannot begin to describe what a difference Active and in Touch Frome makes to the health and welfare of my mother-in-law. Getting out of the house and the social contact with others is invaluable. The team go ‘above and beyond’ in their efforts to ensure she feels welcome and valued, whilst helping her to maintain her independence.
