Paying it Forward is the act of buying something for someone that you don’t know and will probably never meet. When you see a PAY IT FORWARD poster or sticker in shops and businesses across Mendip and you are buying something for yourself, you could buy a second for someone else. You’ll find the window sticker displayed around Frome in shops and cafes.
