Frome College Radio Club students raised £50.00 from a cake sale, selling cakes for 20p each, to help FromeFM develop their new radio station at the Town Hall in Christchurch Street.

On Thursday 22 June, Principal, Mr Gavin Ball, together with the students from the Frome College Matters team, presented the cheque to Geoffrey Mackett from FromeFM.

Mr Ball said how immensely proud of the students he was, not only for their fundraising initiatives, but also their hard work and commitment developing the radio club, and now hosting weekly Tuesday live shows.
