2008

Among a great lineup of events, Trinity expands its training facilities and courses and hosts the amazing Bristol Sound Project

2008 was a year of rapid growth for the organisation.

The building of the long awaited Recording Studio was finalised, part funded by a grant from Bristol Objective 2.

We played host to 49 live music events - notable performances of the year included Travis, Glasvegas, The Kills and Laura Marling.

Our staff numbers grew from one full time member to three key posts - Project Coordinator, Nick Young and Training Coordinator Katie Pearce, joining Emma Harvey the Activities Coordinator for the Centre.

We ran over 200 workshops and training sessions, either as part of our training programme or through our various projects such as the Bristol Sound Project, First Light Movies Project and Project Respect. We also developed our own IT Linux distribution Trubuntu.

In September, Bristol City Council acknowledged Trinity as one of twenty Key Arts Providers within the city.

In December, following a series of workshops for young people based on the history of the Trinity Centre funded by Heritage Lottery Fund, we delivered our first ever site-specific performance, At Tether's End.

The project brought together young people with English as a Second Language from the DICE Project at the City Academy Bristol, supported by Young Bristol, with Elders mainly from Caribbean communities, to share experiences and life stories in six exchange sessions over six weeks. The focus was on facilitating positive interaction of age groups and cultures.
