Young and old unite to clean up town riverside in eco campaign

Frome Standard

|

May 15, 2025

A care home in Frome participated in a newly launched environmental initiative, bringing together local school-children and residents for a day of litter picking.

Young and old unite to clean up town riverside in eco campaign

Care UK's Rossetti House, on Welshmill Lane, invited children from St Louis Catholic Primary School and the Frome Litter Warriors to join residents as they took part in Generations of Change, an intergenerational initiative that has been launched to unite older and younger people in a shared mission of environmental stewardship.

The new Care UK Generations of Change programme aims to harness the wisdom of older members of society and the fresh perspectives of children during hands-on activities linked to biodiversity, climate change and sustainable gardening, creating opportunities for a fulfilling knowledge exchange that will benefit the planet.

To do their bit, the Rossetti House team and residents worked with the youngsters to litter pick along the river at Welshmill in Frome, to clean up the local area and sort out rubbish from recycling in the run-up to Earth Day on April 22.
