SUMMARY:Frome Kindness Festival - Rob Hopkins
DESCRIPTION:The world feels so profoundly unkind right now. But is that how it’s always going to be? \nWould a society rooted in kindness be a better way to reach the kind of future we all long to see? Transition movement founder\, time traveller and author Rob Hopkins will give the 2026 Kindness Festival lecture in which he will take us on a journey to visit the future that resulted from our placing kindness at the heart of policy\, economics and society. \nHe will share with us things he saw there\, stories he heard\, and what it felt like to be there. As bell hooks once put it\, “what we cannot imagine cannot come into being”. \nSo join him\, as he steps through the fabric of time\, taking us with him\, to immerse ourselves in a world built on kindness. You’ll be glad you went.

SUMMARY:The Gift of Water: A story of kindness and unkindness in Frome\, past\, present and future
DESCRIPTION:The Gift of Water. A story of kindness and unkindness in Frome\, past\, present and future. \nJayne Sadgrove (Chair\, Frome Society) with Simon Keyes \nOur taps now give us drinking water. We take it for granted. \nBut it took over ten years for town leaders to agree that Frome needed piped drinking water in the 1870s. Learn why people denied that a clean water supply was needed. Surely it was obvious? \nDiscover how our predecessors managed to provide water for their families\, for drinking\, cooking and washing. There are visible traces around our town.\nAccess to clean water is vital for health. How can we ensure drinking water is freely available to all in our town today? \nThis special evening is a first-ever collaboration between the Kindness Festival and the Frome Society. It will consist of a presentation followed by an interval\, discussion and Q&A. Wine and soft drinks will be available for purchase. It will also be possible to participate online.

SUMMARY:A Kinder Way to Well: Bringing Compassion Back to Self-Care
DESCRIPTION:An interactive workshop inviting you to rethink self-care through kindness\, compassion\, and a more human understanding of wellbeing. \nSelf-care is meant to help us feel better. Yet for many of us\, it has increasingly become another area of pressure\, something we should be doing “properly\,” keeping up with\, or fixing ourselves through. \nThis interactive workshop offers a different way in. \nLed by wellbeing writer\, podcaster and coach Claire Fitzsimmons\, this session invites you to explore what wellbeing looks like when it’s rooted in kindness\, compassion\, and curiosity rather than self-improvement or constant striving. Instead of asking what needs to change\, we’ll gently explore what needs care. \nThrough guided reflection\, conversation\, and simple\, accessible exercises\, you’ll be supported to rethink your relationship with self-care itself\, widening it beyond routines\, rules\, or trends\, and reconnecting it to the very real experience of being a person in the world today. \nThis workshop is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by wellbeing advice\, disconnected from themselves\, or just unsure whether the way they’ve been taught to “look after themselves” actually works for them. \nYou’ll leave with: \n\n\nA more compassionate understanding of what self-care can be \n\n\nGreater clarity about what supports your emotional and mental wellbeing \n\n\nReflections and ideas you can return to in everyday life \n\n\nA sense of self-trust that doesn’t rely on doing more or being better \n\n\nAs part of the Frome Kindness Festival\, this workshop explores kindness as something we can practise inwardly as well as outwardly. Because extending kindness to ourselves isn’t indulgent or selfish\, it’s often the foundation that allows us to meet the world\, and each other\, with more care. \n  \nABOUT CLAIRE FITZIMMONS \nClaire Fitzsimmons is the co-founder of If Lost\, Start Here\, a Somerset-based wellbeing company on a mission to help people get to a better place. As an ICF Associate Certified Coach and a certified emotions coaching practitioner\, Claire works with women navigating change\, burnout\, emotional overwhelm or simply a sense of feeling stuck. Her coaching sessions help people untangle what they’re feeling\, find clarity\, and build a sustainable wellbeing practice that fits who they are now. \nClaire’s writing on mental health\, emotions and midlife wellbeing has appeared in Happiful\, Breathe\, The Simple Things\, and others. She’s also been included in features in Stylist\, Red\, and Psychologies. \nClaire is the host of the podcast A Thought I Kept. Each week she speaks with guests from across creative\, academic\, business and wellbeing fields about the ideas that last a lifetime \nClaire was also Regional Finalist for Best Wellbeing Specialist in Dorset\, Somerset & Bristol for The Muddy Stilettos Awards 2025
