What we do
Welcome to The Good Heart
We are a group of local people who want to explore and encourage kindness in our home town of Frome, because:
-
we are all capable of kindness
-
kindness is good for our health, wellbeing and relationships
-
the world is a better place when we are kind to each other and ourselves
In Phase One (2018-2021) we opened a friendly and affordable pay-it-forward café, run by our friends at Tibetan Memories and supported other local non-profits who share our values.
​
In Phase Two we’re developing a range of events and activities that promote health, wellbeing and warm-heartedness. Please join us!
