Trinity are excited to be part of The Bristol Commons Launch, a movement launched in 2023 focused on co-created community power, land justice, and systemic change.

Led by Coexist, this initiative brings together individuals, community groups, and organisations across Bristol to rebuild the commons, ensuring that vital spaces, resources, and cultural assets remain in the hands of the communities that need them most.

This committment is part of our work to champion the importance of community ownership and creative spaces and ongoing advocacy for sustainable cultural assets.

Read about the 2023 launch in this BBC article.

What’s happening?

The Festival of Commoning, March 2025 s a day of action, discussion, and celebration, with:
🎶 Music & Arts – Exploring how creativity can drive connection and systemic change
❤️ Health & Care – Community-driven solutions for well-being and mutual support
🏡 Housing – Protecting and empowering fair, sustainable, and shared living spaces

The evening will round off with live music, storytelling, and a sound system session powered by 1Relation Soundsystem.

This movement is about shifting power, securing community assets, and building long-term resilience. Join us in shaping a more equitable, collaborative Bristol.

As part of the festival, we’ll be contributing to a People’s Assembly, creating space for communities to share their knowledge and help shape Bristol’s future.
