Community Workshop Day - 2022
|
We will be holding our 2nd annual Community Workshop day on Wednesday 2nd November, 9.30am to 2.30pm at the Town Hall in Frome. This is an opportunity for everyone (volunteers, staff, trustees, people who have used our services, people from the wider community etc) to come together to help Frome Birth Talk set future priorities and shape how we grow. There will be an on-site creche and a buffet lunch.
Whilst it's great if people can commit to the whole day, we understand this is not always possible, so it's fine to come for just part of the day. It's really helpful to have a good idea of numbers, so if you would like to come, email us at: [email protected] Let us know if you need a creche space, the age of your child(ren), and if you have any dietary requirements. |

Community Workshop Day - 2021
It was wonderful to come together at our recent Community Workshop Day to celebrate all that Frome Birth Talk has achieved over the last four years and to look ahead to the future (as well as eat delicious food)!
Staff, trustees, counsellors, volunteers and members all agreed that the counselling service is vital in helping women who are experiencing distress and anxiety whilst pregnant or after giving birth. Mums also highlighted the drop-in group as being a wonderful source of support for new parents. Everyone agreed, however, that there is more the Frome Birth Talk community would like to do. For example, we want to provide a group where parents can bring their toddlers as well as new-borns. We would like to provide more support for those who have experienced baby loss and also ensure we are reaching all parts of the community, including partners, younger parents and people from diverse backgrounds. If you are interested in our work and would like to support us as a trustee, volunteer or fundraiser, we would love to hear from you: [email protected]. Keep following for more updates on future projects! |

Time for You
- a pamper day for women
Sunday 4th February 2018
Moxon Suite, Frome Birth Centre
Time for You is a day of pampering for women whilst highlighting the importance of emotional wellbeing in the childbearing year.
As well as being a fundraising event to raise money for the counselling service for pregnant and postnatal women in the Frome area, this day is an opportunity to nourish yourself with workshops, therapies and refreshments. The day will be run from 10.30am till 4pm and a vegetarian lunch is included in the ticket price, as are tea, coffee and refreshments throughout the day. Pre-crawling babies are welcome but the space isn't suitable for little ones on the move. Tickets are £15 and can be purchased via Paypal - please confirm your place with us via Facebook or email before making your payment as places are limited. The day begins with a welcome, tea and cake. Guests then choose between a one-hour art therapy workshop or yoga class. We recommend the yoga for women bringing babies but we'll help with cuddling babies as much as we can if mothers with babies want to try the art therapy! At about 12.30 guests, therapists and FBT members will share a vegetarian lunch - we'll check any dietary requirements beforehand, but will make sure there are GF and dairy-free options available. From 1.30 to 4pm, a variety of taster sessions of relaxation techniques and therapies will be available including Indian head massage, hand/foot massage, Younique makeovers, EFT and full body massage at £5 each and lasting about 20 minutes to half an hour. You'll book your taster slots after lunch and are welcome to relax and eat more cake while you wait or before you head home... Buying raffle tickets also helps us to raise money to support the emotional health of women in the childbearing year and gives you the chance to win some wonderful prizes. |
