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.
