Individual Membership

Why Join?

By becoming a member, you’ll play a vital role in keeping Frome FM thriving. Your support helps us:

• Keep the airwaves alive with diverse, independent programming.
• Provide a platform for local voices, music, and creativity.
• Invest in training, equipment, and opportunities for community members to create their own shows.

Member Benefits:

• Exclusive updates and behind-the-scenes news.
• Invitations to special events and workshops.
• The chance to shape our future with voting rights at the AGM.

If you wish for a show to be a regular part of the scheduled broadcast, then you need to become a member. Members can get involved in presenting an existing show, propose a new show idea or work behind the scenes.

We hold Meet and Greet sessions for new members to visit the studios, discuss their ideas and find out about our internal training courses. Please contact us for more details and for when the next meeting will be held.

However, you don’t need to be part of a broadcast to be a member. You can still choose to support us by taking out a membership. FromeFM relies on membership subscriptions to cover our costs including rent, equipment and licensing fees.

Membership also gives you voting rights and a say in how FromeFM is run.

• Subscriptions are currently £12.50 a month, or you can pay a one-time payment of £150 for the year. If you choose to pay annually, please ensure that you make your payments on time so that someone does not have the task of chasing you up for payment each year.  

• If you are not working then you may qualify for the unwaged membership rate. This is £8 a month or £96 for the year.

• Students in full-time non-advanced education can join for £7 a month or £84 for the year.

• There is also a one-time sign up administration fee which covers registration, training sessions and your first 3 months of membership. This is £60 (or £40 if unwaged).

We accept payments by Standing Order (for monthly payments), Bank Transfer (for annual amounts paid up front), cash or cheque. Our account details are as follows: Frome Community Productions CIC
HSBC  Sort Code 40-44-33, Account Number 62079968

Community Group Membership

Community groups can join us too.  Fill in the form on this page (ticking the Group Membership box) to say what you would like to do and we will get back to you to arrange a meeting.

Group membership is currently £200 a year which covers the cost of training for key individuals and use of the studio to make your programmes for broadcast on Frome FM.

Every group is different so please get in touch to discuss how we can work effectively together.

Flexible Subscription

Please appreciate that if the above subscription figures are baseline figures. If you are able and willing to pay a bit more each month then please do. It would be very much appreciated.
