Alfie is creating a new ergonomic backpack. (He's on our Enterprising Together programme)

He's currently testing how to take the weight off of the neck and torso for a small, versatile, expandable backpack, which can be used from commuting to adventures away from home.

He’d love your input:

What do you find causes the most discomfort in your everyday carry bag, and what features do you think are most important to solve that?

Comment below or send us a message, and we’ll pass your thoughts on to Alfie.

Did you know seven local people started Fromebase on an Edventure course?

Back in February 2025, they came together around an idea: to design, create and launch a DIY pop-up shop in Frome.

They spoke to the community.....researched whether it could work.....created the brand.....and tested a tiny version before committing to the real thing.

And look at Fromebase now.

This version only opened a few months ago, and it’s already running workshops, serving up coffee and cake, and helping people find useful DIY treasures that might otherwise go to waste.

They didn’t start with a shop. They started with an idea, then worked out what to do next.

That’s exactly what our next Edventure course, Enterprising Together, is designed to help you do with your own idea.

You’ll get the time, support and structure to explore it properly, whether it’s big, small or still a bit rough around the edges.

It’s all about taking those first steps.

Enterprising Together starts Friday 11 September in Frome.

If you’ve been saying “one day”, maybe this is the time to start.

“Redundancy came suddenly, and I was left asking: what next?”

Louise recently took the plunge and started her own business, Step Forward with Louise.

She joined Enterprising Together, our in-person programme in Frome, and used the time to start making it happen

She shared this lovely reflection on the experience ↓

-------------

It was a challenging time. I had the beginnings of a business idea, but I was still searching for a new sense of purpose
and identity—and there were a few false starts along the way.

Then a friend sent me a link to Edventure’s Enterprising Together course. After a chat with Colin, who runs it, I signed up.

The course helped me turn a small idea into a real business. It gave me confidence, practical tools and approaches that have proved invaluable.

Just as importantly, it gave me a supportive community. Starting out on your own can feel lonely, so sharing this experience with others in the same situation - and receiving hands-on help with things such as my website made a huge difference.

Redundancy, retirement, divorce, or children leaving home can bring freedom and possibility, but also uncertainty and a loss of identity. This experience shaped my business. I support people to reconnect with what matters most, understand what may be holding them back and support them to take practical steps towards greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Ready to take your next step?

I've been out in Frome asking people one question:

If you could work for yourself and start any business, big or small, what would you do?

I'd love to hear yours too. Tell me in the comments!

Maybe it’s something you’ve thought about for years. Perhaps it’s a half-formed idea you keep coming back to. Perhaps it’s just a fun dream.

AND if you have already started a business now or in the past, what would you say to someone just starting out?

And …. If you want to make a go of it, our Enterprising Together in person programme starts this September 11th (enrolling now!). It's for local people to take their business idea (big or small) and start shaping their idea and taking action on it, alongside others also trying out their idea. If you've been thinking about it, why not give a go? edventurefrome.org/enterprising-together (link in our bio!)

One of the brilliant tutors joining us for Enterprising Together is Gemma from Business Skills Hub Limited.

Gemma will be running two practical sessions:

Basic accounting and cash flow for your business
How to build a useful business plan

Her aim is for people to leave with “more confidence in their finances and a clearer path for what their business is”.

These sessions are just one part of Enterprising Together, our in-person programme for anyone who is interested in giving their idea for a business a go.

You don’t need to arrive with a polished business plan or a big entrepreneurial ambition. You’ll get dedicated time each week to explore and develop your idea, practical workshops covering useful business skills, and a supportive group of people who are figuring things out alongside you. Everyone brings something different to the table.

The next course starts on Friday 11 September at the Edventure Hub Co-Working Space in Frome, running from 9:15am to 2:45pm each Friday.

Some people pay for their own place, while others can join fully funded, at no cost to them, thanks to Somerset Council funding.

If you’ve got a business idea you’d like to start making progress on, enrolment is open now.
