Bristol Sound Project
Heritage project exploring Trinity's role in the community and Bristol music scene, 1829-2009

Trinity - The home of the Bristol Sound

Before the meteoric rise of the stars of the 'Bristol Sound', the Trinity Centre was central to that Bristol soundscape.

Trinity once again plays host to young and up-and-coming Bristol artists.

The Bristol Sound Project featured a series of creative workshops for young people, based on the Trinity Centre's colourful and varied past, culminating in a site specific performance At Tether's End.

Youth Action Plan
Trinity's project for young people - developing ideas, events and activities for young people

Trinity is working to develop services for young people at the Trinity Centre. If you are a young person interested in setting up your own project, we would like to hear from you.

Project Respect
Arts workshops focusing on facilitating positive interaction between different age groups and cultures

2010 is the third of Project Respect, bringing older and young people together to produce a series of artworks exploring themes around different generations and cultures.

This year, we will be worked with our in house artist Sarah Bentley, who also helped us to deliver workshops around International Womens Day.

Trinity Gardens
The Trinity Gardens are cultivated and maintained by Eastside Roots

Eastside Roots was developed out of a Bristol Permaculture Group idea to provide a ‘gardening hub’ for the local community while at the same time rejuvenating a piece of derelict land in Easton.

 

The initial plan was to regenerate a piece of land next to the Stapleton Road train station. In the

interim, they have been rejuvenating the Trinity Gardens through regular volunteer workdays, growing a variety of plants, veg, fruits and flowers. They also do a large amount of work to involve the local Somali community.

 

Eastside Roots welcome anyone wanting to help out, whether it be to gain skills and knowledge about horticulture and sustainable living or just to meet other like-minded people.


Please contact Eastside Roots at uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/eastsideroots/ for more information.

Renovation
Ongoing maintenance, renovation and development of the Trinity Centre

Trinity Community Arts have been working hard to improve and develop the Trinity Centre. Since 2003 we have:

  • built a high-end recording studio, with a control and live room
  • added an IT Suite and New Media Training room
  • fitted additional toilet facilities upstairs
  • installed a lift and redeveloped the "loading bay" as an access route to the upstairs spaces
  • repainted the downstairs main hall and foyer

Works have been completed with a huge amount of voluntary support and grant aid and our thanks go out to all who have helped with our continued development.

code.3ca
TCA actively supports and promotes the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) - software that can be used, studied and modified without restriction

To make these acts possible, the human readable form of the program (called the source code) must be made available.

The source code can be placed in the public domain, accompanied by a software license saying that the copyright holder permits these acts (a free software licence).

Working with key partners across Bristol we aim to help organisations and businesses harness the value of FOSS.

One of the biggest social and economic barriers affecting people's ability to alter their economic state is a lack of ICT knowledge and skills.

The aim of code.3ca is to develop alternative solutions to licensed packages, in order to help communities overcome these barriers.

In order to achieve this aim, we provide software development and hosting as well as training and support.
