Trinity is VISIBLE
The VISIBLE accreditation is a kite-mark for community organisations to confirm the quality of the organisation and service.
In making the award, the assessor commented; "The organisation was very open, receptive and genuinely interested in improving their practice and documentation."
The assessment process was long and detailed and required a high level of work in preparation for the final assessment. The process helped Trinity to identify the need to register as a charity, which was implemented in November 2011. The process provided a clear framework within which to review our activities and policies, including child protection, fire risks, and health and safety.
Emma Harvey, Centre Manager said; "Working through the VISIBLE accreditation has helped the board and management to take a detailed and strategic look into the responsibilities involved in running a community centre and identify areas we can improve, to better our building, organisation and service offer for the local community."
The VISIBLE report included areas for development which we will be implementing, including updating policy documents which will be made available online in the new year.
