Your customers are the centre of your business, and our community is the centre of our work at Trinity.

We welcome involvement from corporate partners to support our charitable work.

Our corporate partners get involved in a variety of ways, including donating time, expertise and funding so that we can do more for our communities. Check out this case study of corporate partners GL Hearn who took part in a volunteer garden day to create a new polytunnel for our community gardening programme.

We can offer corporate partners access to the diverse audiences who interact with our building, exciting volunteering opportunities for your staff, free tickets to shows and visible brand recognition opportunities. A partnership with Trinity offers businesses the perfect opportunity to grow your brand recognition and loyalty with the people of Bristol, and fun and unique volunteering day for your team.

We would love to work with you and have a flexible approach to building partnerships. For more information please contact us or download our Corporate Volunteering pack here.

We’re so much more than a music venue.

We are Trinity Community Arts, a charity based in The Trinity Centre, a Grade II* listed building in East Bristol. Last year, we welcomed over 65,000 people across over 1,000 events and activities - from dance classes for older people, to garden activities for children, to supporting the next generation of artists on their creative journey.

As a registered charity we rely on generous support from our loyal community to keep our spaces open and accessible for everyone to enjoy.

You can support Trinity with a one-off gift or a monthly donation:

• £10 could help provide free hall space for our regular community activities, such as Gerry Attic’s dance group for the over 55s.
• £25 could help pay for a monthly 121 music sessions for a young person experiencing challenging circumstances – helping them return to education.
• £50 could help provide an emerging artist with the rehearsal space and professional support to develop their practice

To find out other ways you can support our work or if you would like to sponsor a specific project, please get in touch with our Fundraising Manager, cordelia@trinitybristol.org.uk

A Centre for the People

Trinity Community Arts' mission is to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to access and shape arts and culture in Bristol. We provide a progressive programme of live music and creative activities, as well as space for individuals to follow their passions and flexible facilities to suit almost any event or activity.

Based in The Trinity Centre, this much-loved historic landmark is a cultural hub for the city, where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together - connecting communities and developing people's skills through the arts.

From free music courses for young people to arts, heritage and permaculture projects for wider community, Trinity offers something for everyone. Each year the centre is used by over 40,000 people and we give over 1,000 hours of free space to other grass-roots groups to run their projects and activities for the community.

But, if you've been to a gig, roller disco or a dance session, you might have found yourself getting a little hot under the collar!

With over 40,000 centre users, of which 25,000 are gig-goers alone, enjoying live-music and dance events hosted at Trinity each year, that's a lot of sweaty bodies to cool down.

Like you, we want to Make Trinity COOLER!

We need your support in raising funds to improve the hall by installing a new air-extract system in our main hall space. We're asking you to give what you can, so that we can make the centre a nicer place for everyone, as well as helping to make Trinity more sustainable.

“We currently run a weekly elderly support group at the Trinity Centre...without this resource we would have nowhere to go” Awaz Utaoh, Asian Women's Group
