The Purple Elephant Befriending Service is for children aged 5 – 12yrs, and matches volunteers with vulnerable children for weekly chat and activity sessions.
The service helps to support children with their wellbeing and anxieties, and provides them with a trusted adult in their lives.
Purple Elephant Family Support run charitable services for children and families in Frome and the local area. Services include Small Steps parenting support, a befriending service for children aged 5 – 12yrs; the Frome Toy Library; Family Holiday Fun – family activities for all ages during each school holiday period; and the Frome Children’s Festival – a one day, free event for children of all ages offering loads of different activities, which doubles as a training project for teenagers.
Some of Purple Elephant’s services are open to all and others are for referred families only; all are either free or very low cost. The charity’s primary aim is to support social inclusion and integration, supporting those who are most vulnerable in our community.
