Heart & Soul
In 2018 we celebrated Trinity's place at the heart of the community through a programme of accessible workshops, heritage trails, talks and social events, as well as online content, physical displays, two paid internships and volunteering opportunities.
“Excellent that this is accessible regardless of financial wealth; good platform for finding new possibilities for self development, vital for community that stuff like this happens at Trinity"
Workshop participant
- The activities engaged 680 people of all ages directly, including 21 volunteers, attracted new visitors, diversified perceptions of the organisation and promoted our aims.
- 162 people came along to our Talks as we welcomed speakers to share their thoughts about the challenges and achievements of transforming and preserving historic buildings. Speakers included Architects Tim Ronalds and Fidel Meraz, as well as Marcus Hammond of x-Church Gainsborough

We believe that heritage is a powerful source of social capital, the physical fabric of many communities, and a source of national and local identity and pride.
Heritage is broader than just the historic built environment – it is also about the heritage of communities, language, dialect and cultural traditions.
Our heritage projects:
- Preserve and celebrate the Trinity Centre as a building of historic interest
- Explore, document and champion the cultural heritage of Bristol's diverse communities, such as people's stories, backgrounds and traditions
- Utilise the power of heritage to improve quality of life, extend opportunity and strengthen community cohesion
- Record and document this architectural and cultural heritage so that it can be shared with future generations
