Where does Trinity get its funding? Trinity has a trading subsidiary that generates approximately 70% of our turnover from a commercial live music programme, private hall-hires and associated bar sales.

This is used to subsidise our charitable activities, fund repair and maintenance of the Trinity Centre, cover overheads and enable us to provide free and subsidised hall-space to grass-roots and local groups.

We receive project specific grants from trusts & foundations and Lottery grant funders to help us deliver our activities programme. See the What We Do area of our website for more info.

Is Trinity funded by Bristol City Council? Trinity receives a £30,000 grant from Bristol City Council Cultural Investment Programme (2024-26). We have also received support via Community Interest Levy (CIL) for capital works. We are a partner delivering community services with Eastside Community Trust, funded by the Bristol Impact Fund.

What do you need funding for? To repair and conserve the Trinity Centre for future generations; To deliver arts, community, education and heritage projects for those who need it most; To develop people's skills and enhance wellbeing; To provide free/subsidised space for grassroots and local groups.

How much has TCA invested in the building? Since 2007, TCA has invested over £3m in capital maintenance, repair and development of the Trinity Centre. This includes grants from Lottery sourcesel, landfill trusts and private trusts and foundations. Grants have been used to repair the historic fabric and renovate spaces so the Trinity Centre can continue to be accessible to all. See the Renovation area of our website for more information.
