More funding secured to help us fix up Trinity

We are over 90% of the way towards raising funds needed in order to start the essential repairs to the building.  This includes urgent repairs to the iconic towers and pinnacles, fixing the north-aisle roof, stained glass windows and Bath stonework. Repairs are being supported by the Theatres Trust and the Wolfson Foundation Urgent Repairs Scheme and The All Churches Trust.

Director at Theatres Trust, Jon Morgan says: “We are pleased to be able to support the Trinity Centre in keeping performance spaces open for their local community to enjoy. This project addresses urgent roof repairs that will protect future theatre use in the Fyfe Hall.”

Theatres Trust is the UK national advisory public body for theatres: "We believe that current and future generations should have access to good quality theatre buildings where they can be inspired by, and enjoy, live theatre. We champion the past, present and future of live theatre, by protecting the buildings and what goes on inside. We do this through providing advice on planning and development, supplying resources and advice to make theatres sustainable and offering financial assistance through grants. We help people discover more about theatres and campaign for theatres at risk."

The Wolfson Foundation is an independent charity that aims to improve the civic health of society by supporting excellence in the fields of science, health, education and the arts and humanities. Since the beginning of the year Theatres Trust has been working with the Foundation to develop a scheme focusing on smaller, regional theatres, complementing its existing funding programme and building on the knowledge and expertise of Theatres Trust. 2017 will be a pilot year for the Urgent Repairs Scheme, with the Wolfson Foundation providing £100,000 funding and Theatres Trust managing the application and evaluation process.
