Do you work for yourself in Frome or nearby?

We’re running a practical session to help self-employed people feel more confident with bookkeeping, without jargon or unnecessary stress.

It’s for anyone who wants a simple way to stay on top of their finances. No experience needed.

Whether your records are in a spreadsheet, a notebook, or a shoebox full of receipts, we’ll help you build a simple bookkeeping system that works in real life.

You’ll learn the basics of bookkeeping, how to use a simple income and expenses spreadsheet, what records HMRC expects you to keep, and when tools like Xero or QuickBooks might be useful.

There will be live demonstrations, real-life examples and plenty of time to ask questions. Bring a laptop if you’d like to follow along in Excel, but it’s not essential.

We’re also running a follow-on session later in June called Self Assessment Made Simple, which walks you step-by-step through completing a tax return using the HMRC portal.

Do you work from home, but wish you had a proper desk somewhere else?

We’re looking for one or two people who need a regular work base in Frome.

At The Edventure Hub, we currently have two individual fixed desks available. They could be a good fit for freelancers, remote workers, self-employed people, small business owners, or anyone who wants a regular desk away from home.

It’s a calm, friendly place to work without needing to rent a full private office.

You’ll get your own dedicated desk, 24/7 access, fast Wi-Fi, tea and coffee, shared spaces, use of meeting rooms, and a welcoming coworking community.

It’s £171 per month, and there are only two desks available at the moment.

You’re very welcome to come in for a free trial day, or just pop in for a quick look around.

Message us if you’d like to know more, or if you know someone this might suit.

Find out more at edventurefrome.org/hub about our space.

Self-employed? Bookkeeping can feel like one of those jobs you keep meaning to sort out. This practical session will help you make a simple plan and feel more confident.

You might be a freelancer, sole trader, trades person, carer, cleaner, creative, consultant, or running a small business. You do not need any accounting experience.

Whether your records are in a spreadsheet, a notebook, or a shoebox full of receipts, we’ll help you build a simple bookkeeping system that works in real life.

You’ll learn the basics of bookkeeping, how to track income and expenses, what HMRC expects you to keep, and when tools like Xero or QuickBooks might be useful.

There will be explanations, live demonstrations, real-life examples and plenty of time to ask questions.

Bring a laptop if you’d like to follow along in Excel, but it’s not essential.

You get 24/7 access, fast Wi-Fi, unlimited tea and coffee, access to 3 meeting rooms, and a lovely coworking community that is easy to feel part of.

The desk is yours, so you can leave your work things set up and ready to go.

Members often say it helps to have a dedicated workspace to go to, and feel more work-life balance.

Each desk is £171 per month. No long tie-ins, no VAT, and everything is included.

Come and see if the space feels right for you. Book a tour and stay for a free trial day.

Thinking about working for yourself in social care? This might be the session for you.

On Monday 27 April, we’re hosting a short course at Edventure: Is Social Care Self-Employment Right for Me?

It’s a practical look at what it really means to work as an independent social care support worker. We will walk through the day-to-day reality, the pros and cons, who you might support, as well as boundaries, safeguarding, and what self-employment in this field actually involves, including flexibility, responsibility, income, and risk.

No experience needed, just curiosity about whether this kind of work might suit you.

You’ll come away with a clearer picture of the role, and a better idea on whether it’s worth exploring further for you.

Monday 27 April, 10am to 2pm, The Edventure Hub, Frome.

This training will be run by Vince Tillman, freelance social care practitioner, coordinator, and advocate.

Something has appeared at the bottom of Cheap Steet!

Until Saturday 28 March, you can drop into the Imaginarium Studio from Green & Healthy Frome. Dream about and share ideas about what a greener, healthier Frome could look like in 2030 and even 2050. And look back at five years of local people coming together to create change.

Inside you will find photographs, stories and illustrations by local artist Jenna Herman, along with an artwork called Plastic Bones created by the Frome Youth Climate Action Group with artist Julie Starks.

From warm homes and renewable energy to cycling, reuse and reducing waste, there’s plenty to discover.

You can also pick up a free copy of the new Frome Green Directory, meet the Frome Town Council Resilience team, and join a workshops happening during the week - including mending together with Everyone Needs Pockets on Saturday 28 March, 10 to 2pm.

If you are passing through town, step in and have a look.
