The most notable achievement for 2014 was the completion of a two-year capital project, which included repairs to our South Aisle lead roof alongside significant redevelopment of our upstairs hall space and grounds.

Contractors gcp Chartered Architects and CW Duke worked tirelessly and within strict budget and deadline to complete the scheme of works, which included a new reception area, heating system, partition wall, sprung wooden floor, lighting and drapes - to enable us to provide a more flexible space for the variety of uses of the centre.

The plan to redevelop the Trinity Centre has been an ambition for decades and this former converted church has long been a focal point for the cultural and community activities in East Bristol. Thanks to support from funders including Big Lottery Fund and Ibstock Cory Environmental Trust, these long-held aspirations have now become a reality. With a second large hall space in the upstairs of the Centre, we are able to provide access to high-end facilities at affordable rates for a range of activities including dance, performance, meetings, conferences, weddings and more.

Over 200 Friends of Trinity turned out for our official opening of the new 'Fyfe Hall', named in memory of former board member Nicholas Fyfe, who passed away in 2007. The event gave people in the community and users of the Centre the opportunity to see all the improvements made to the building and the audience were entertained by Bristol Reggae Orchestra who gave an outstanding performance as the first musicians to perform in the newly renovated space. This was folloed by the public relaunch event with a performance from Adrian Utley of Portishead.

Throughout the year, the Trinity Centre was used by over 40,000 people, across 222 activities and events. This includes:

• 7674 participants in community events, across 12214 unique visits
• 730 people participating in projects such as our Community Garden, Arts West Side and Vice & Virtue
• 41 young people involved regularly across our youth music training programme
• 53 volunteers supporting across all activities
• provided 4 paid intern-ships for young people aged 18-24 through the Creative Employment Programme.

Our Trinity Community Initiative (TCI) provided 1,180 hrs of free or subsidised space hire at The Trinity Centre for grass-roots groups and community projects (inc theatre and dance rehearsals), meetings and events and approx 125 hrs at Arts West Side – our satellite venue on Old Market High Street.

In line with the Bristol Green Capital 2015, we will be focusing on making Trinity more sustainable, both environmentally, through taking steps to make Trinity a greener venue and financially, through building our reserves. Our activity plans for 2015 include exploring new ways of bringing communities together, such as a series of live community-debates, taking more artistic control over our live-programming and providing more learning opportunities for young people. We're looking forward to doing more for our communities in 2015!

It's been a busy year in the Trinity Community Garden with community projects using our spaces to grow, forage and cook and participants experiencing truly sustainable living and the complete food cycle. The garden has also provided a place for workshops, children's quests, community events and gatherings through Comic Relief, Community First and Quartet funding. We have also played host to the Wild Walks for Wellbeing group and delivered the Children's Good Food Adventures for the Activate West Side project, funded by Awards for All.

Between April and October, the garden has brought together around 60 members of the community every month, as part of their weekly and monthly drop-in sessions and special celebrations. We worked with a wide range of people but have specially ran tailored sessions for adults with mental health issues.

We had a small set back in June when considerable damage was done to the hand-built roundhouse building, after it was set on fire, leaving walls and ceiling burnt and damaged. We dedicated Trinity's Big Gig on Sun 13^th July, to the Community Garden, to help raise funds to repair the damage done and thanks to Incredible Edible donations we were able to complete the necessary works in record time. We also received a Churngold Environment grant and we now have storage for all our wood and materials!

BYCA awarded us two grants to run Summer and October half term activities for children’s aged 6-12yrs. Activities included fire lighting, herbal first aid, food growing, cooking, arts & crafts and den building. Over 30 children came along to the sessions, fully immersing themselves in nature and learning about their environment.

The aim of all of our activities is to increase peoples confidence, well-being and to get them to work together. We think 2014 has been all about that with a great big thank you to all the volunteers involved!

If you're interested in community gardening and would like to get involved in our Trinity Community Garden project, contact lisat@3ca.org.uk

“I've gained a Rockschool certificate...coming here has helped me decide what I wanted to do for college and so I am now attending DBS college where I study DJing and production” Rob, 19

The training team recently went in to guest on Paulette North's Ujima radio show to celebrate the success of two recent graduates of the Trinity music course who have since gone on to secure long term work experience positions at the station and can confidently report they are doing a fine job co-presenting and engineering. Congratulations Ny and Reeks.

We have plans to develop professional an exciting new programme of activities for young people in 2015. We are working to raise funds to continue delivery of our Music-Makers accredited training and drop-in sessions (Rockschool and Arts Award).

We also aim to introduce new Music-Labs and Master-Classes, delivered by project partners and guest musicians and a new Industry Music project strand. This will include Live-Learning and Industry-Learning, linking with music professionals to provide industry taster days, shadowing, mentoring and internships within a music industry setting.

Young people learning music at Trinity are able to work towards a Rock School Music Practitioner accreditation. They also get the chance to gain exclusive 'backstage' access, where they get to see first-hand the inner-workings of the live-music industry and meet artists and professionals during event set-up of live-events. As one of Bristol's most legendary music venues, this is a unique learning experience to inspire the next generation of musicians.

"Tutors Al and Dave and students Ny and Reekes came along to my show - the two young people were full of praise for the Trinity Centre . In their own words they several times repeated 'Big up the Trinity Centre!' They talked about how their lives were turned around because of the course they did on music with Al and Dave. I was in no doubt that the Trinity Centre is an amazing place, but it is wonderful to hear our young people say it."

Trustee, UjimaFM presenter and local activist Paulette North

An evening with Miriam Margolyes in Trinity's Fyfe Hall

Taking a break from filming the new series of SKY ONE's Trollied, Miriam visited one of Bristol's most-loved arts venues. She met with the Trinity team, young people from The Truth About Youth project and theatre group Sedated by a Brick.

BAFTA winning veteran of stage and screen, Miriam has achieved success on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite her globe-trotting success, Miriam has maintained a strong commitment to supporting grass roots theatre and arts and received her OBE in 2002 for her services to drama.

Miriam was introduced to Trinity by Ujima FM host, local activist and Trinity board member, Paulette North. Miriam was impressed by the Centre's work nurturing young talent, commenting that, “young people need encouragement and a nudge”.

In a statement about her new role, Miriam said; “It’s a privilege to be invited to be a Patron of the TRINITY CENTRE. These days, the Arts have to fight for their place in our society & I saw when I visited Trinity that it is not only committed to encouraging and fostering the Arts in Bristol, but also to ensure young people from diverse backgrounds experience all aspects of Art & enable them to realise their dreams. And the Trinity Centre building is a delight-the theatre space is one I look forward to inhabiting.”

Emma Harvey, Centre Manager for the Trinity Centre said: "It was fantastic to meet Miriam and see such genuine enthusiasm for our activities. Working with Miriam will help to raise the profile of theatre created at a community level and support the development of talented young actors. We are incredibly grateful for her support.”

Miriam Margolyes OBE - biography

Born in Oxford, England in 1941 and educated at Newnham College, Cambridge, Miriam Margolyes is a award-winning actress who achieved success on both sides of the Atlantic.

Winner of the BAFTA Best Supporting Actress award in 1993 for The Age of Innocence, she also received Best Supporting Actress at the 1989 LA Critics Circle Awards for her role in Little Dorrit and a Sony Radio Award for Best Actress in 1993 for her unabridged recording of Oliver Twist.

In 2002, H.M The Queen awarded her the Order of the British Empire for her services to Drama.
