"What a beautiful venue, full to the brim with amazing work and gorgeous outreach programmes and artistic development opportunities. I'm really hoping to spend more time there once things have calmed down" Audience Feedback June 2020

Trinity have been awarded funding of £28,677 through Power to Change's £12 million emergency support package.

Power to Change support community led businesses, giving places and people more control over shaping their communities. The grant will contribute towards Trinity’s core costs following the ceasing of trading in March 2020, due to lockdown measures. These costs are usually covered by revenue generated from hires, bar sales and our pay and display car park.

The emergency grant follows funding from Power to Change to improve our ability to support communities in running grassroots activity through the Community Kickstart project, as well as enabling us to increase capacity for community hire through the Trinity Digs project.

Trinity is both a community asset and a community and cultural hub. Free and subsided hire allow community groups and residents to deliver their own activity and organise community led meetings and events.  Provision to support those struggling with mental health or social isolation is offered through project activity including our Community Garden and Youth Music project.

We are hugely grateful to the funders who have contributed emergency funds to help us bridge the gap in our funding, created by a loss of trading activity. This support means we can continue to deliver activities for the many communities connected to Trinity. As a Localis report on the sector recently outlined, this crisis has threatened the existence of community assets and has also shown just how significant they are to society in these most challenging times.

“We are delighted Trinity Centre has supported Full Circle youth services by giving us the nature packs to give out to our most vulnerable families and young people. We are also looking forward to deepening our connection with Trinity to benefit the families and young in Bristol”

Judith Davis, Youth Development Manager, Full Circle Youth Centre @ Docklands, June 2020

We know now more than ever, we need opportunities to take part, connect and celebrate. During lockdown we have worked to offer communities the opportunity to access cultural and community activity. This includes supporting groups and individuals to take Community Kickstart activity online through our Trinity Presents Programme. We have also been working with local organisations and schools to distribute activity packs to families - with more planned to reach others who maybe experiencing social isolation due to Covid-19. You can find out more about this activity and how we are reaching communities during lockdown here. Tutors from Making Tracks project have been working to support young people access music making provision through video sessions.

Watch the performance right here on our website.

"@HannahMorePri huge thanks to you and @TrinityBristol for the fantastic kit for the windowsill grow challenge! Tate really enjoyed potting them. We will keep you posted on their growth" Charlene L. Twitter

Since the Covid-19 lockdown, we have been working closely with local primary schools and Up Our Street to find ways to reach out to young people in the community who can no longer access our community garden and may have limited access to green spaces during this time.

The first batch of activity packs, filled with simple DIY windowsill gardening ideas and craft activities for families, children and carers to get busy with at home, went out in May/June 2020. Activities include sowing seeds, making bird feeders, scavenger hunts and more. A digital version of the pack is downloadable from our website.

“I think the biggest benefit is that it gives children and families who might not be able to get outside, the chance to engage in nature-based activities. Being around nature and doing tasks like planting and looking after plants are great for mental health and well-being and get children engaged in the world around them!”

Natalie Barker, Deputy Head, St Nicholas of Toletine Primary, June 2020

The garden team are also creating videos on everything from handy gardening tips to fun activities you can do at home - keep up-to-date with these on our social media channels or catch up here.

Bellatrix and Grace Savage are BURD: the undefeated, two times UK Tag-Team Beatbox Champions.

Grace and Bel met in year 7, when they would get thrown out of class for being too loud together. In year 9 they started a band and shared their first stage experiences; Grace on guitar and Bel on bass. 10 years later, and both with blossoming careers as beatboxers (who also write and sing their own music), they decided to join forces as two of the only prominent women on the British beatboxing scene. The first female tag team to ever enter the UK champs. They made history and won. Twice in a row.

BURD are both dynamic and sensitive. Rowdy and gentle. They save a space at the table for sweet harmonies alongside their ground shaking beats.

Each an individual powerhouse in her own right, Grace and Bel come together as the quirky, loud, cheeky and lovable duo who love to challenge the status quo.

Catch BURD live on our Facebook.

A spotlight has been thrown on racial inequality on both sides of the Atlantic. We, as an organisation, in concert with our partners neighbours, and friends, are committed to advocating for change in light of the tragic injustices faced by the Black community.

Black members of the Trinity family have compiled a list of 10 ways in which you can show your support. If you have any other ideas please contact us at info@trinitybristol.org.uk. We'd love to hear from you.

How can you help?

1. Educate yourself and then others

• Research and understand structural inequality, systemic racism and black history to decolonise your mind. Check out these resources from Runnymede Trust and Black Lives Matters.
• Advocate for Black History to be taught in schools.
• Enrol on a structured course of learning around Black Historical Studies.
• Share the knowledge and resources.

2. Show your solidarity

• On Wed 3 June, Stand Up To Racism ran a #TakeTheKnee campaign across the UK. Keep up the momentum by taking a knee, raising a fist, making posters, or any combination of these to show your solidarity. We propose a duration of 8.46 minutes in honour of George Floyd.
• It doesn't matter that it's not all on the same day or at the same time. What matters is the message.
• It's not about the show but posting a picture of yourself doing these things will encourage others to do the same.

3. Virtually protest

• Avoid using the official #BLM or #BlackLivesMatter hashtags in your posts as this drowns out the vital information posted by the movement. Instead use #TakeTheKnee #RestInPower #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd #JusticeForBreonnaTaylor #AmplifyBlackVoices and any other relevant tags you can find.
• If you're feeling brave, use social media algorithms to your advantage and add tags used by groups opposing the movement to get the message to those who need to hear it most.

4. Buy Black

• Buy and read books by Black authors.
• Buy gifts and treats from Black businesses.
• Spending locally supports your local economy and buying from Black businesses helps to support an often struggling sector.

5. Support Black platforms

• Follow and learn from Black activist like Tamika Mallory, Leslia Thomas QC and Janet Adler.
• Follow and read media championing Black voices, such as gal-dem and Black Girl Fest.

6. Donate money, time, skills and resources

• There are countless local, national and international Black causes to donate to, including Black Southwest Network, Black Cultural Archives, St Paul's Carnival.
• If you're unable to donate financially, think of what valuable skills you poses that could benefit a cause. This could be anything from designing artwork to stuffing envelopes, making teas to attending meetings on behalf of someone else. Volunteering time is just as valuable as money. Reach out to local Black charities and communities and ask how you can help.

7. Find, sign and share petitions

• Do your research and find petitions to sign that support Black communities and causes. Once you have signed, share the petitions to help spread the word.
• Relevant petitions include those advocating for changes to the national curriculum; justice for the victims and their families; and the proper prosecution of those at fault.
• We've put some links at the end to start you off.

8. Contact your local MP

• This can have a larger impact than you might think. Write to your MP to protest the UK sales of riot shields, tear gas and rubber bullets to the US; and to release the delayed report into Black  Covid-19deaths.
• Use the Find My MP tool to get your MP's direct email address.
• If you're not sure what to write, use templates like this to express your concern. Make sure you edit it to your own words so it doesn't register as spam.

9. Make equality a first thought

• Make equality a first thought not an afterthought when making making decisions. This is important in a wider context and especially important within business. By inviting Black input once the parameters in which you'll be working have already been set, you have already creating an obstacle to equality.
• Make a point of considering equality in all decision making until it becomes second nature.

10. Check in and support

• Check in with your Black family, friends, co-workers and neighbours to find out how they are. A simple phone call, text or meme could make all the difference to someone you know.

Don't let your takeaway from this be that Blackness is about pain. It is about recognising and celebrating humanity in its fullness; the joy and the pain.
