MEET THE Fromies We talk to businesses in and around Frome who are passionate about what they do... Chloe Wright, Goddess organising Who is Goddess organising? Goddess organising is a domestic organising and decluttering service based here in Frome. I provide sensitive, non-judgemental, persuasive and neutral encouragement to re-home or dispose of items that simply aren’t loved, needed or useful anymore. Because I have no emotional connection to these items, it enables me to provide motivational assistance for the client. It enables them to make the difficult decisions needed to clear their homes and say goodbye to the clutter that is suppressing their lives. What type of services do you offer? My services can range from clearing and reorganising a cupboard under the stairs to garages, sheds and whole houses full of a lifetime of memories and general clutter. I work closely with each client ensuring nothing gets discarded without the clients permission. Once the decluttering process is complete, I can then be left to thoroughly clean the room and find the most logical ‘forever homes’ for the items which are loved, needed or useful. The client then has a beautifully clean and tidy room to come home to everyday. Kate Hateley Photography Can you help with someone with hoarding difficulties? Although I do not have any training in counselling or Psychotherapy, I do however have a basic understanding of why some people can struggle with hoarding difficulties or have hoarding tendencies. I work closely with all my clients and learn about their lives and the struggles they confront everyday. What do you like most about Frome? Frome’s community spirit is something that I feel is unique to our town. I love that my family are part of the community shared ownership scheme for Whatcombe fields and we saved the sledging hills for all our children for years to come. The community fridge initiative is the inspirational thinking, kindness and generosity one comes to expect and aspire to from the Fromie community.

The creative happening that is Frome was very much in its incipient phase at this time, but there was enough happening and more importantly, there were many like-minded citizens who made us quickly appreciate that we had made the right decision. To see Frome now is to witness the coming into bloom of what was then merely shoots of possibility. We are so proud of what has been achieved here creatively, politically and socially. You’ve played many roles in your acting career, but if you could pick one favourite, what would that be? I have loved them all in their own way, though playing John Lennon was a very powerful and lasting experience. There is something particularly challenging about playing a character from real life rather than fiction. Especially one so well known. You are aware that you have people’s own relationship with him to satisfy as well as offering new insight. It was life-changing. Tell us more about the Actor Workshops you run from the Merlin Theatre? Developed through my company Drama Direct Ltd, I designed them to offer everyone who has ever been curious about the professional actor’s process to come and experience it for themselves under my guidance. I offer themed drama classes that are open to all levels of experience including stage and screen acting classes, and I also offer private one to one tutoring at various venues around Frome like the Merlin and Rise. Next one is a Stage Acting Day on 5th September at the Merlin and then a Screen Acting Class on 3rd <strong>Oct</strong>ober at the Merlin. You made a short film here in Frome called Perplexed Music? I did indeed. I am very proud to say that it won 33 international film awards at festivals around the globe including some very prestigious ones and I remember the shoot extremely fondly. It’s available on Youtube for free. Frome looks resplendent in it. It was a magical experience. If I’d like to find out more about the courses you run, where and how can I find out more?
