Trinity Community Initiative

Scheme to help local community and voluntary groups to provide free activities

The Trinity Community Initiative (TCI) offers free* subsidised hall space during 9am-6pm Mondays-Saturdays, to help get your activity off the ground.

We want to:

• help community groups develop and grow

• provide a wider range of services for our local community

• support activities that promote social cohesion and inclusion

• promote partnerships between groups.

Who is it for?

TCI is open to any local community or voluntary group which wants to run a free public event. The activity should provide a direct service to local communities, particularly those in Easton, Ashley and Lawrence Hill. For example, your group may want to run a drop-in advice service, some workshops, a public forum, or an open day for local people to find out about your services.

How long can my activity run for?

We want as many people as possible to benefit from the scheme. So we want to encourage groups to use their our hall space as a launch, while they find ways to support future activities. There’s no set time limit, but we’ll review how things are going, to plan activities for the next month. We may suggest that suitable groups share, to make the most of the space, and help groups get to know each other. If we need to change your booking, we’ll give as much notice as possible, and try to find other suitable spaces or dates for you.

How do we apply?

If you’d like to run an activity, please send us a brief proposal (no more than two pages) and let us know:

• what your organisation or group does

• what activity you’d like to run, and who it’s for

• what space/s you would like to use

• the best dates and times for your activity – if known

• any other information to support your proposal

• Send your proposal, marked TCI, to Emma Harvey at info@3ca.org.uk for consideration.

*Please note that, in order to overcome any issues surrounding liability to TCA, we may need to charge a peppercorn fee for use of the facilities, for example £1 for the duration of your activity.
