Come along to our Butterfly Cut-Out Morning and help prepare a local art installation as part of the 800 Missed Steps Project, a pancreatic cancer awareness campaign funded to help raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of this disease.

More information and let us know you'd like to come along. 

We are looking for volunteers to help cut out several hundred butterfly shapes that have been specially designed and drawn by local artist Caroline Rudge. The purple butterflies will form part of a community art installation at Frome Medical Practice, serving as a symbol of remembrance for lives lost to pancreatic cancer. Each butterfly will contribute to a powerful visual display, helping to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer and representing the many individuals and families affected by this disease.

Come along, have a chat and a cuppa, and help us bring this project to life!
