The Old Showfield Parkrun
Frome has its own parkrun, taking place every Saturday morning at 9am on The Old Showfield.
Being a parkrun practice is another way that we can help to:
- improve the health and wellbeing of practice staff
- improve the health and wellbeing of patients and carers, reducing the need for lifelong medication
- raise awareness amongst the parkrun community of services that practices provide
- contribute to the development of a local community and environment that is centred around wellness generation
- support the UK-wide movement to scale up social prescribing activities
