Fundraise with us
Throughout the year, Pod members, families (and colleagues!) take part in various community events and fundraising activities in Frome. Examples have included; Running a weekly Charity bingo in partnership with the Cheese & Grain, Charity shop takeover, organising a Pod Squad to take part in the Frome marathon plus other seasonal Community events.
These events take a lot of time and organisation, so we are always on the lookout for volunteers who may be willing to help out. You may prefer to help organise prior to the event, if you volunteer on the day you will help everything run as smoothly as possible.
To get involved in any of our volunteering opportunities please contact Sue on 07709 231536 or email via our contact page and let us know what you may be interested in!
How you can fundraise for us
Help us to raise important funds!
Every penny raised really does make a difference to our community.
We have planned fundraising events and activities that our members take part in throughout the year. If these events interest you, we would love you to join us!
- Please visit us at The Cheese & Grain every Monday night for our Charity Bingo. Doors open at 6pm, Eyes down at 7.30pm every week.
- Could you or your family & friends help or perhaps talk to your employer about a donation for our raffle at the Cheese & Grain bingo. We don’t expect a weekly donation but every donation will still count – all proceeds from the raffle come back to The Pod.
- Do you like Baking? Could you organise your own bake sale or coffee morning in aid of the Pod…
- Could you nominate us to be your employer’s Charity Of The Year?
- If you haven’t already, you could join the Shape Mendip lottery? For just £1 week you have a 1:50 chance of winning £25,000. 50% of the ticket price comes back to the Pod and 10% goes to other good causes in Mendip. You can join here.
- Or to keep it local you could join the Frome Community Lottery who have provided support to The Pod by funding much needed equipment for our projects. Go to https://fromecommunitylottery.org.uk/
- Could you take on a challenge for The Pod? Swim, cycle, run, walk whatever you feel will inspire you. Greg & Becky completed a 1 mile open water swim in 2023, to raise funds for The Pod could you do something like this?
- Support the seasonal fete’s in Frome and you will often see Pod members running a bottle stall or having fun with a human fruit machine!
- Berkley School has chosen The Pod to fundraise with this year, Pod ambassadors, members are raising awareness with their pupils about the importance of being caring, kind, and accepting everyone as they are – unique and wonderful. Berkley school are planning a summer of fundraising activities, we can’t wait to see what they will do!
Do you have your own ideas or a dream we can help to come true? It really doesn’t matter if it is Silly or Serious we’d love to hear from you!
