Invitation to food and health event

A Food & Health Conversation in Frome

What we eat affects our health, our communities and the environment so we are excited to be hosting an evening where we will be talking about food and health. Everyone is invited to join us for what will be a vibrant event, offering insight, inspiration and open conversation.

The evening takes place at Frome Medical Practice on Thursday 5th June from 6pm to 8pm.

Places are limited and booking is essential.

How can what’s on our plate affect our world and our own health? In a time of rising chronic illness, pressure on the NHS and a rapidly changing climate, the link between what we eat and how we feel has never been more urgent. Food choices affect not only our bodies but also our communities and the health of the planet.

Our evening will start with a panel discussion. Members of the panel are Dr Helen Kingston, a GP at Frome Medical Practice, Lesley Harper from Somerset NHS Integrated Care Board, Tasha Stevens-Vallecillo from Land Food Medicine and Hugh Thomas, Co-ordinator of the Frome Food Network. The event is hosted by Charlotte Carson, Sustainability Lead at Frome Medical Practice, and will explore the powerful connection between food, health and environment.   

At our food and health conversation, expect fresh perspectives, thoughtful discussion and rich takeaways. This is an opportunity to connect with others, share ideas, and keep the conversation going. If you are unable to attend the event, there will be an opportunity to listen again on our Green & Healthy radio show at the end of June.

This event is part of Green & Healthy Frome, a partnership programme of Edventure Frome, Frome Medical Practice and Frome Town Council taking action on health and climate, funded by the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund.
