Trinity Community Project
We all have the right to define who we are, make our own choices, join in the things we love, contribute and share our experiences with others. At times this can be a challenge. Trinity Community Project is here to help.
We aim to encourage people to participate in a range of social activities, within the service and out in the community, which offer choice and promote skills, independence and self-confidence, while maintaining dignity and safety. We provide:
Day Service - Available Monday to Thursday 9:30am - 2:00pm. Sessions are facilitated by staff and volunteers providing a range of activities based on individual needs and interests e.g. arts and crafts, cooking, access to IT (incl. WI-FI), aromatherapy, trips into town, live music, seated games, quizzes. Clients can choose what days they would like to attend. Self-referrals as well as referrals from professionals and carers are welcome. A referral form can be downloaded here.
Groups, Courses and Workshops - Time-limited weekly sessions facilitated by people with specialist expertise aimed at developing skills and interests, increasing knowledge and understanding, developing self-exploration and coping strategies. Examples include: art, exercise, mindfulness, cookery and gardening. See the details of our activities below and click on the posters for up to date information.
Social spaces - Sessions run by staff, volunteers and members providing a range of social activities based on interests; encouraging people to share with others and develop their social skills.

Art Group
The weekly Art Group is hosted by Jane Reidy from local charity Guideposts Trusts. Each session will explore a different theme, covering a range of different techniques, which are designed to be accessible to all. The class takes place in the main hall, which provides a tranquil setting and plenty of light.
Cooking Club
The Cooking Club is one of our most popular groups, run by Charlotte Bradley of Hertfordshire Community Kitchen. The group is on Mondays and run in blocks, and is centred around learning to prepare and cook a 2-course meal. Members will cook, serve and enjoy the meal together each week, providing a memorable learning and sociable experience.
Dance
The Dance group is inclusive for all. An hour of fun and dancing to pop music with Amanda!
Keep Fit
The Keep Fit Class is inclusive for all, including sitting and low impact exercises. This is delivered in 6- week blocks. Please check dates with staff before attending.
Cuppa and Catch-up
Cuppa and Catch Up is a relaxed social group for members who would like to meet others, enjoy a chat, and spend time together in a safe, friendly, and inclusive environment. It’s a space to share a cuppa, talk about current events, favourite topics, and everyday interests, and build connections at your own pace. The group is led by our support worker, Roxy, who helps create a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for everyone.
